A cork of density `0.5gcm^(-3)` floats on a calm swimming pool. The fraction of the cork's volume which is under water is

Suppose that your body has a uniform density of 0.95 times that of water.If you float in a swimming pool,what fraction (in %) of your body's volume is above the water surface?

A piece of cork of density 0.25g*cm^(-3) , attached to a metal piece of mass 10 g and of density 5g*cm^(-3) , is found to float completely immersed in water. Determine the volume of the piece of cork.

A cork of mass 10 g is floating on water. The net force acting on the cork is

A cork of mass 10 g is floating on water. The net force acting on the cork is

A piece of cork (density 0.8g*cm^(-3) ) is placed at the bottom of water. If now the cork is released, then prove that it will rise upwards with an acceleration of g/4 .

An iceberg floats on fresh water with a part of it outside the water surface. Calculate the fraction of the volume of the iceberg which is below the water surface. Given : density of ice =917kgm^(-3) , density of fresh water =1000kgm^(-3)

An ice berg floats on fresh water with a part of it outside the water surface. Calculate the fraction of the volume of the ice berg which is below the water surface. (Density of ice = 917 "kgm"^(-3) , Density of water = 1000 "kgm"^(-3) )

Two spheres A and B each of volume 100cm^(3) are placed on water (density =1.0cm^(-3) ) . The sphere A is made of wood of density 0.3gcm(-3) ).
