Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider two cubes with side length of 10 cm. The cubes are submerged in water. One cube is
made from wood (density of 460 kg/m3) and the other cube is made from aluminium (density
of 2742 kg/m3). -
(a) Will the buoyancy force acting on these two cubes be the same or different? Please explain
your answer.
+
(b) Will these cubes float or sink? Please explain your answer.
(c) Would the behaviour of the cubes change if they were placed in oil (with density of 894
kg/m3) instead of water?
