A uniform block of height 0.260 m, floats in water of density 1000 kg/m3. The bottom of the block is 0.2530 m below the surface of the water. What is the density of the block?
fb = mg
m=(pf)(v)
d = m/v
What i did was find the mass, using the volume of what is submerged, then when i found d using equation 3, i used the v of the whole block.
I know im mixing something up here, but im not sure what it is..
