To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the principles of buoyancy and Archimedes' principle. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that a solid body is floating in water and has \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its volume above the surface. This means that \( \frac{4}{5} \) of its volume is submerged in water. ### Step 2: Define the volume of the solid body Let the total volume of the solid body be \( V \). Thus, the volume of the solid body above the water surface is: \[ ...
