A solid sphere of radius R and mass M is floating in a liquid of density ρ. If the sphere is displaced slightly from its equilibrium position, it will experience an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. U\sing the principle of conservation of energy, derive an expression for the time period of small oscillations of the sphere.
