A block of wood of density 0.6 gcm\(^{-3}\), weighing 3.06N in air, floats freely in a liquid of density 0.9 gcm\(^{-3}\). Calculate volume of the portion immersed (g = 10ms\(^{-2}\))

  • A. 510cm3
  • B. 340cm3
  • C. 254cm3
  • D. 170cm3

Correct Answer: B. 340cm3

Explanation

V = \(\frac{M}{D}\)

= \(\frac{3.06}{10} \times \frac{1000}{0.9} = 340\)
