Question
A block of wood having a length "h" meters, and a constant cross-section
"A" floats vertically in water with 54 mm above the water surface. When
placed in another liquid with specific gravity of 1.35, the block projects 72
mm projecting above the liquid surface. Find:
a.) The length "h" in meters.
b.)The specific gravity of the wood.
c.) If the wood is vertically submerged in seawater (S.G = 1.03), by
how many meters would project out of water surface?
