To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information about the two blocks A and B that float in water. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two identical blocks A and B made of different materials. Block A is 90% submerged in water, while block B is only 15% submerged. We need to compare the densities of the two blocks and the upthrust (buoyant force) acting on them. ### Step 2: Use Archimedes' Principle According to Archimedes' Principle, the buoyant force (upthrust) acting on a floating object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the object. ...
