Problem

A wooden block of density

6.0\times10^{2}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3}

and volume

1.5\times10^{-2}\,\text{m}^3

is held completely submerged in water by a light string attached to the bottom of the tank. The block is at rest. What is the magnitude of the tension in the string? a)

8.8\times10^{1}\,\text{N}

2.9\times10^{1}\,\text{N}

5.9\times10^{1}\,\text{N}

1.5\times10^{2}\,\text{N}
