Answer 1

A container consist of hemispherical shell of radius 'r ' and cylindrical shell of height 'h' radius of same material and thickness. The maximum value h/r so that container remain stable equilibrium in the position shown (neglect friction) is 1.

Explanation:

For stable equilibrium h ≤ r ⇒ `"h"/"r"` ≤ 1
