27. A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0 cm and a density of 650 kg/m³ floats on water. (a) What is the dis- tance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level? (b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface?
