- The density of a floating object can be determined by tying just enough weight to the object to submerge it completely, and then weighing the weights and object separately in the air. Consider a wood log that weights 1600 N in air. It is found that it takes 42 kg of lead (????? = 11,300 ?? ?3 ⁄ ) to just submerge the log in the water (i.e. to achieve neutral buoyancy). For the conditions given, find thefollowing:a. The volume of the log in m3.b.
