A block of mass M=0.986kg is floating stationary in a beaker of water. A string connected to the bottom of the beaker holds the block in place. The tension in the string is 5.80 N. The bottom of the block is floating a distance h=1.69cm above the bottom of the beaker.
1.) What is the magnitude and direction of the buoyant force acting on the block?
2.) What is the density of the block?
