Question

Consider six blocks of different materials interacting with water in a large container. Use 1 g/cm^3 as the density of water, use g = 10 N/kg, and assume that each block has a square cross section. Compute the force of buoyancy due to the water on each object. Sitting on the bottom of the container: Floating on the surface of the water: Also floating: Floating: Hanging from a string: Roaring: Consider the six blocks from question 3, and assume that they are all at rest. Which floating block has the largest density? Which floating block has the smallest density? Which floating block has the same weight as block B? Which floating block has the same weight as block D? Which is heavier, block A or block B? Which is heavier, block D or block E?
