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

Height of the cube under water will be 3.33 cm

Step-by-step 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 =
`(density\ of\ material)/(density\ of\ liquid)* height\ of\ the\ cube=(800)/(1200)* 5=3.33cm`

Height of the cube under water will be 3.33 cm
