Question
A piece of iron is glued to the top of a block of wood. When
the block is placed in a bucket of water with the iron on top, the block
floats. The block is now turned over so that the iron is submerged beneath
the wood. Does the block float or sink? Does the water level in
the bucket rise, drop, or stay the same? Explain.
