A block of density 900 kg/m^3 floats in a liquid of density 1030 kg/m^3. The fraction of its volume below the surface is:

  1. 0.874
  2. 1.14
  3. 0.437
  4. 0.126
Answer

A) 0.874

Floating: weight = upthrust Rightarrow rhob V = rhof Vsub Rightarrow VsubV = 9001030 = 0.874. SLO P-11-B-33 · Application
