Floating Block 1 2 3 4 The specific gravity of a material is the ratio of the material's density to the density of water: SG = $\rho_{material}/\rho_{water}$. The density of water is $\rho_{water}$ = 1 g/cm$^3$ = 1000 kg/m$^3$. A rectangular block of wood, 11 cm \times 17 cm \times 39 cm, has a specific gravity of 0.60. 1) Determine the buoyant force that acts on the block when it is placed in a pool of fresh water. Hint Draw a free-body diagram labeling all of the forces on the block. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Submit 2) What fraction of the block is submerged? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Submit 3) Determine the weight of the water that is displaced by the block. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Submit 4) You can completely submerge the wooden block by pushing down on it with your finger. With what force $F$ would you need to push down on the block so that it is completely submerged in the water? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) F = Submit Help N N N
