Pool girl Paula has a problem. She has dropped two blocks into her pool. One, made of wood, floats on the surface. The other, made of iron, sinks to the bottom. Both blocks are the same size: 50 cubic centimeters. On which is the buoyant force greater?a) The ironb) Both have the same buoyant force.c) The woodd) It cannot be determined without knowing their densities.

Six wooden blocks (mass $m$ ) float in a barrel of water. The blocks are not all made from the same type of wood. The bottom of each block is submerged to a depth $d$ below the water surface. Rank the blocks in order of the buoyant force on them, largest to smallest. (a) $m=20 \mathrm{g}, d=2.5 \mathrm{cm}$ (b) $m=20 \mathrm{g}, d=2 \mathrm{cm}$ (c) $m=25 \mathrm{g}, d=2 \mathrm{cm}$ (d) $m=25 \mathrm{g}, d=2.5 \mathrm{cm}$ (e) $m=10 \mathrm{g}, d=2 \mathrm{cm}$ (f) $m=10 \mathrm{g}, d=1 \mathrm{cm}$
