A 2.0 cm × 2.0 cm × 9.0 cm block floats in water with its long axis vertical. The length of the block above water is 1.0 cm. What is the block's mass density?
Added by Nicole P.
Step 1
The submerged part of the block is 8.0 cm (9.0 cm - 1.0 cm) long. So, the volume of the submerged part is 2.0 cm * 2.0 cm * 8.0 cm = 32.0 cm^3. Show more…

A conical block floats in water with $90 \%$ height immersed in it. Height $h$ of the block is equal to the diameter of the block, i.e., $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. The mass to be kept on the block, so that the block just floats at the surface of water, is (A) $568 \mathrm{~g}$ (B) $980 \mathrm{~g}$ (C) $112 \mathrm{~g}$ (D) $196 \mathrm{~g}$
