Homework Statement
A block of wood measures 2.2m by 2.5m with depth 3.6m with weight 102KN. When placed in water, how far will it sink?
g = 9.81 ms-2
density of water = 1000kg m-3
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Volume = 2.2(2.5)(3.6) = 19.8m3
Mass = 102000 / 9.81 = 10398 kg (nearest whole)
Density = 10398 / 19.8 = 525 kg m3
It sinks 52.5% of the water.
How to continue finding how far it will sink?
