[SOLVED] i need help with a static fluids question
A block of wood of 1.8 kg mass floats on water with 64% of its volume submerged. A lead block is placed on the wood and the wood is then fully submerged. Find the mass of the lead block.
Fb = pvg
(1000)(.64v) = Pblock (.36v)
Pblock = 1777.78
p = m/v...m/p = v
1.8/1777.78 = .001 m^3 = total volume
i have no clue what to do next, or even if what i have done so far is correct. please anyone who can help me?
