A block floats in a liquid with 60% of its volume submerged. If the density of the liquid is 800 kg/m³, find the density of the block.
Explanation
According to Archimedes' Principle, the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Since 60% of the block's volume is submerged, the block displaces 60% of its volume in the liquid. The weight of the liquid displaced is equal to the weight of the block. Using the formula density = mass/volume, we can calculate the density of the block.
