Step 1
First, we need to determine the weight of the wooden cube. The weight can be calculated by multiplying the volume of the cube by the specific weight of wood. Volume of the cube = length x width x height = 89.9 cm x 89.9 cm x 89.9 cm = 719,091.259 cm³ Weight of Show more…

A wood cube 0.38 m on each side has a density of 760 kg/m3 and floats levelly in water. A)What is the distance from the top of the wood to the water surface? B)What mass has to be placed on top of the wood so that its top is just at the water level?
A wooden cube 3 cm on a side floats level on water with just 1.5 mm of the cube showing above the surface. What is the density of the wood? (ρwater = 1000 kg/ m3)
