A block of wood with a volume of 6.00×102 cm3 floats on water. A block of steel with a volume of 1.50×102 cm3 sinks, but by using a string, it is being held in the middle of a container filled with water. Take the density of wood to be 0.657g/cm3, and the density of steel to be 7.838g/cm3. For water, the density is 1.00×103 kg/m3 (or 1.00 g/cm3).
a. For the block of wood,
i. Make a free-body diagram.
ii. Determine the buoyant force.
iii. Determine the volume submerged in the water.
b. For the block of steel.
i. Make a free-body diagram.
ii. Determine the buoyant force.
iii. Determine the tension of the string.
