[QUOTE="Woolyabyss, post: 4510067, member: 426882"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A piece of wood floats in water with 65% of its volume under water.Find the relative density of the wood. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Buoyancy = (Weight of object) / (Relative density of object) [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] B = W/s 1= .65/s s = .65/1 s= .65 My book says this is the right answer but I can't understand how? I guess .65 and 1 are ratios. But how did they get the one? [/QUOTE]
