A block of wood with length "h" and cross-sectional area "A" is submerged in water with 50mm exposed above the water surface. When submerged in a liquid with specific gravity of 1.35, it will float with 75mm exposed above the liquid surface. If the wood is submerged vertically in a liquid with specific gravity of 1.03, obtain the length of wood exposed above the surface in mm. 62.1 48.2 52.8 58.9 E
