A foil boat measures 4.0cm by 5.0cm and has a mass of 100.0g. If you put the boat in water, how far will it sink? (Recall the density of water is 1.0 g/mL) (answer with a number; units are cm)

Answer:

Let the volume of the block of wood be

and its density be

So the weight of the block

=

g

The block floats in liquid of density

with

Now let the density of oil be

The block floats in oil with 60% of its volume submerged.So the buoyant force balancing the weight of the block is the weight of displaced oil =
