A 2.0cm×2.0cm×9.0cm block floats in water with its long axis vertical. The length of the block above water is 1.0 cm. What is the block's mass density?

A wooden raft has a mass of 50 kg. When empty it floats in water (density 1000 kg/m3) with 69% of its volume submerged. What mass of sand can be put on the raft without it sinking?

a diving sphere has a mass of 2.05x10^5 kg and an external diameter of 12.0 meters. the sphere initially floats on the surface of the ocean. the density of the sea water is 1025 kg/m^3. a large anchor is then attached to the sphere and it sinks to the ocean floor at a depth of 1.49 km. what is the buoyant force felt by the submerged sphere? what is the tension in the anchor cable?

A plastic block of mass m is floating on the water's surface. Some of the block is under the water and some is above. The block is exactly 4cm thick and 2.8cm beneath the surface of the water.   If the density of the water is given as pw = 1000kg/m^3, calculate the density of the plastic block.

A block of wood has a mass of 3.71 kg and a density of 515 kg/m3. It is to be loaded with lead (1.13 × 104 kg/m3) so that it will float in water with 0.803 of its volume submerged. What mass of lead is needed if the lead is attached to (a) the top of the wood and (b) the bottom of the wood?

The density of ice is 917 kg/m^3, and the approximate density of the seawater in which an iceberg floats is 1025 kg/m^3. What fraction of the iceberg is beneath the water surface?

A solid, square of floating ice measuring 5 m on a side and 0.33 meter thick floats partially submerged in water.  Determine the number of penguins that can stand on the ice block without any of them getting their flippers wet? (i.e. such that the top surface of the ice block floats at water level)?  Assume that the mass of each penguin is 10 kg. Round your answer to the nearest whole number of penguins. Assume the density of saltwater is 1030 kg/m3 and the density of ice is 980 kg/m^3

Two metal blocks are attached by a cable as shown in Figure P10.50 and are floating near the surface of a lake. If the volumes are V1 = 3 m3 and V2 = 1.23 m3 , what is the total buoyant force on the two blocks?

A 6.2 m^3 object floats in water with 46% of its volume above the waterline. What is the force the Earth exerts on the object? The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.

A flat-bottomed aluminum fishing boat has a mass of 60 kg and an area of 4.0 m2. When it is launched into the water (density 1,000 kg/m3), how far (in m) below the surface of the water does the bottom of the boat sink? B. A fisherman and his buddy climb into the boat. If they, along with their gear, have a mass of 300 kg, how much farther (in m) does the boat sink into the water?
