13.A solid material cube floats in oil of density 800 kg/m^3, with 1/3 of the block out of the oil. What is the buoyant force on the cube, whose edge is 0.75 cm? (Attach a solution)
Added by Michael M.
Step 1
We are given a cube that floats in oil, with 1/3 of its volume above the surface of the oil. This means 2/3 of the cube's volume is submerged in the oil. We are asked to find the buoyant force acting on the cube. The density of the oil is given as 800 kg/m^3, and Show more…

A cube of side length 13.0 cm and made of unknown material floats at the surface between water and oil. The oil has a density of 810 kg/m3. a) If the cube floats so that it is 71 % in the water and 29 % in the oil, what is the mass of the cube? b) What is the buoyant force on the cube?

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of $20.0 \mathrm{cm}$ and a density of $650 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ floats on water. (a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level? (b) How much lead weight has to be placed on top of the cube so that its top is just level with the water?
