AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the density of the wood and the density of the oil based on the information provided about how much of the wood is submerged in each fluid. ### Step 1: Understanding the problem We know that when an object floats, the weight of the object is equal to the buoyant force acting on it. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the object. ### Step 2: Calculate the density of wood 1. **Let the volume of the wood be V.** 2. **According to the problem, two-thirds of the volume of the wood is submerged in water.** ...
