A rectangular block is 5m long, 3m wide, and 1.20m high. The depth of immersion of the block is 0.8m in seawater. If the center of gravity is 0.6m above the bottom of the block, determine the metacentric height. The density of the seawater is 1025kg/m^3.

A block of wood 0.6 m x 0.6 m x h meters in dimension was thrown into the water, it floats with 0.18 m. projecting above the water surface. The same block was thrown into a container of a liquid having a specific gravity of 0.9 and it floats with 0.12 m projecting above the liquid surface. Determine the value of h in cm. What is the specific gravity of the block?
