To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a cubical block of edge length 6 cm, where one-third of its height is floating in kerosene oil with a specific gravity of 0.8. We need to determine the height of the water column required to make the block just immersed. ### Step 2: Calculate the Volume of the Block The volume \( V \) of the cubical block can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
