Question

A cube that is 5.0 cm on a side is made from a material with a density of 800 kg/m3. The cube floats in a fluid that has a density of 1200 kg/m3. How much of the height of the cube is underneath the surface of the water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the cube under water will be 3.33 cm

Explanation:

We have given height of the cube = 5 cm

Density of the material $=800kg/m^3$

Density of liquid $=1200kg/m^3$

We have to find the height of the cube under the water

Height under water is given by

Height under water = $\frac{density\ of\ material}{density\ of\ liquid}\times height\ of\ the\ cube=\frac{800}{1200}\times 5=3.33cm$

Height of the cube under water will be 3.33 cm
