Question

You need to determine the density of an unknown liquid. You notice that a block floats in this liquid with 4.6 cm of one side of the block submerged. When the block is placed in water, it also floats but with 5.8 cm submerged. What is the density of the unknown liquid? Show a complete analytical model, including force diagrams and the application of Newton's Laws.
