To solve the problem of finding the density of the wooden log that floats in water with \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its volume above the surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We know that the log is floating, and \( \frac{1}{5} \) of its volume is above the water. This means that \( \frac{4}{5} \) of its volume is submerged in the water. ### Step 2: Define Variables Let: - \( V \) = Total volume of the wooden log ...
