A cubical block of wood (density 850 kg/m^3) with a height of 28 cm floats in water (density 1000 kg/m^3). What is the height of the block above the surface of the water? a) 5.1 cm b) 4.2 cm c) 0.92 cm d) 10.8 cm e) 1.11 cm

Step 1
First, we need to find the volume of the wooden block. Since it's a cube, all sides are equal, so the volume is: V = (0.28 m)^3 = 0.021952 m^3 Show more…

A cubical block of wood 0.100 $\mathrm{m}$ on a side and with a density of 550 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ floats in a jar of water. Oil with a density of 750 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ is poured on the water until the top of the oil layer is 0.035 $\mathrm{m}$ below the top of the block. (a) How deep is the oil layer? (b) What is the gauge pressure at the block's lower face?
A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with its lower surface 1.50 cm below the interface ($\textbf{Fig. E12.33}$). The density of the oil is 790 kg/m$^3$. (a) What is the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block? (b) What is the gauge pressure at the lower face of the block? (c) What are the mass and density of the block? Figure e12.33 (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
