A cube of side a and mass on just floats on the surface of water as shown in the figure. The surface tension and density of water are T and rho_(w) respectively. If angle of contact between cube and water surface is zero, find the distance h (in metres) between the lower face of cube and surface of the water. (Take m=1kg, g=10ms^(-12), aT=10/4 unit and rho_(w)a^(2)g=10 unit)
