Problem

SUP1. A block of wood has a mass of 12 kg and dimensions 0.5 m by 0.2 m by 0.2 m . (a) Find the density ρo\rho_{\mathrm{o}} of the wooden block. (b) If the block is placed in water (ρ=1000 kg/m3)\left(\rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right) with the square sides parallel to the water surface, how far beneath the surface of the water is the bottom of the block? (c) A weight is placed on the top of the block. The block sinks to a point that the top of the block is exactly even with the water surface. Find the mass of the added weight.
