Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the density of wood, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We have a block of wood floating on water, with \( \frac{2}{5} \) of its volume above the water surface. We need to find the density of the wood. 2. **Define Variables**: - Let the total volume of the wooden block be \( V \). ...
