Problem

A block floats in water with exactly three-quarters of its volume below the surface. Which option correctly states the relation between the density of the block (ρblock\rho_{\text{block}}) and the density of water (ρwater\rho_{\text{water}})? a) ρblock=ρwater\rho_{\text{block}}=\rho_{\text{water}} b) ρblock=14 ρwater\rho_{\text{block}}=\dfrac{1}{4}\,\rho_{\text{water}} c) ρblock=34 ρwater\rho_{\text{block}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\,\rho_{\text{water}} d) ρblock=43 ρwater\rho_{\text{block}}=\dfrac{4}{3}\,\rho_{\text{water}}
