A uniform cylinder of length $L$ and mass $M$ having crosssectional area $A$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a massless spring such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $\sigma$ at equilibrium position. The extension $x_0$ of the spring when it is in equilibrium is
