3. An empty drum having a height of 4.5 m and a radius of 0.90 m is submerged in sea water (sp. gr. = 1.03) with its open end down, such that the closed end is 5 m below the water surface. The air originally present in the drum remains compressed therein at the submerged depth. Compute the height and volume of air trapped inside the drum.
