A metal block that has volume of Z3 m3 is hanging in a water tank as shown in the Figure 2(a) so the height of the immersed part of the block is Z/2 m. After that it was immersed totally in the water tank as depicted in Figure 2(b). Answer the following questions knowing that the density of metal is 8000 kg/m3 and the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 . (Z=0.43)
