if a 50cm^3 cube of wood floats on water and 50 cm^3 cube of iron goes to the depth, which one experiences greater buoyant force and why?
Added by Margaret J.
Step 1
- The wood cube floats, so only part of its volume is submerged. - The iron cube sinks, so its entire volume (50 cm³) is submerged. Show more…

Which has a greater buoyant force on it: a 25 cm3 piece of wood floating with part of its volume above water or a 25 cm3 piece of submerged iron? Or, must you know their masses before you can answer? Explain.
