A thin vertical uniform wooden rod is pivoted at the top and immersed in water as shown. The container is slowly raised. At a certain moment, the equilibrium becomes unstable. If density of water is $9/5$ times the density of wood, then ratio of total length of rod to the submerged length of rod, at that moment is
