Question

Find the volume of the water displaced and position of buoyancy for a wooden block of width
2.5 m and depth 1.5 m, when it floats horizontally in water. The density of wooden block is 650
kg/m3
and its length 6.0 m.

Answer 1

the volume of the water displaced and position of buoyancy = x

2.5 m and depth 1.5 m,

The density of wooden block is 650 kg/m3

its length 6.0 m. = 6m

2.5 × 1.5 × 6 × x = 650

22.5x = 650

x = 650/22.5

x = 650 × 10 / 22.5

x = 6500 / 22.5

x = 288.8 Ans.
