A large, 64.0 kg cubical block of wood with uniform density is floating in a freshwater lake with 20.0% of its volume above the surface of the water. You want to load bricks onto the floating block and then push it horizontally through the water to an island where you are building an outdoor grill.
a) What is the volume of the block?
b) What is the maximum mass of bricks that you can place on the block without causing it to sink below the water surface?
Bouyancy = rho*submerged volume*g
submerged volume = a^2*x
x=0.8a as 20%is above water
submerged volume = 0.8a^3
balancing weight and buoyancy
mg = rho*0.8a^3 g
a^3 = 64/800
a = 0.43m
(b) for fully submerged body buoyancy generated = rho*a^3*g = 80g
hence 80-64 = 16 kg of bricks can be carried before sinking

A young boy at summer camp stands on a wooden raft (ρw = 700 kg/m3 ) floating in a freshwater lake (ρ = 1000 kg/m3 ) and finds that his weight just cancels the buoyancy of the raft; the water touches the soles of his feet but the raft doesn’t sink. He then jumps onto rectangular block of Styrofoam (ρs = 50 kg/m3 ). The Styrofoam has 1/3 the volume of the wooden raft, but now the top of the...

Note the exact water level reading in the container of water and record the reading below. 100.00L 16. Now, complete submerge the wooden block in the water and hold it there under the water with the mouse. Note the new water level reading in the container of water and...
2. 95% of a wood block is submerged in water (density= 1000 kg/m). A layer of oil with a density of 880 kg/m' is now poured on top, to a depth that more than covers the block, as shown. Find the resulting new volume fraction submerged in water, V(in water) / V(block). Hints: (i) You get two buoyant forces - one for each liquid; Also note that (ii) volume, V(block) = V(in water) + V(in oil). d=880 kg/m² V =...

The volume of the wood block is 0.00782 m^3. The density of the wood is 620 kg/m3 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. 2) Most cars have hydraulic...
A U-tube contains liquid of unknown density. An oil of density
770 kg/m³ is poured into one arm of the tube until the oil column
is 13.5 cm high. The oil-air interface is then 4.5 cm above the
liquid level in the other arm of the U-tube. Find the density of
the liquid.
