A wooden block floats in water with two-third of its volume submerged.
When the same block is placed in oil, three quarters of its volume is immersed in oil. Calculate the density of oil.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the density of oil based on the information given about the wooden block floating in water and oil. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the situation in water The wooden block floats in water with two-thirds of its volume submerged. Let's denote: - Volume of the block = \( V \) - Volume submerged in water = \( \frac{2}{3}V \) ### Step 2: Write the equation for buoyant force in water ...
