Question

A cubical block with sides 10 cm having a mass of 600g floats in fresh water. How much of the block's volume is submerged in the water

Answer 1

Given A cubical block with sides 10 cm having a mass of 600g floats in fresh water. How much of the block's volume is submerged in the water

We know that density = mass / volume

        mass = 600 g = 0.6 kg, density of water = 1000 kg / cubic m

              = 6 x 10 ⁻4

Volume of cube = 1000 cm³

  V = 1000 - 600 = 400 cm³
