A block of weight mg = 45 N has part of its volume submerged in a beaker of water. The block is partially supported by a string of fixed length that is tied to a support above the beaker. When 80% of the block's volume is submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N. Water is steadily removed from the beaker, causing the block to become less submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N.The string breaks when its tension exceeds 35 N. What percent of the block's volume is submerged at the moment the string breaks? Select one: O a. 10 % O b. 15 % O c. 20 % O d. 25 %

EMERGENCY!!!! The cover in the figure is hinged at the center O and has a fixed width w = 5 m. The equation of the surface is x = y2 / a (a = 3 m), the depth of the water to the right of the lid (D = 4 m). If the weight of the lid is neglected, it is necessary to keep the lid in balance. Find the size of the force (Fa) required, as shown. Take the density of the water as 999 kg / m3.
