Will a 9 x 9 x 5 cm piece of cork with a density of 0.24 grams per cubic cm float (on water) a steel bar that weighs 200 grams?
The total weight to float (block and bar) is 300 grams. The volume of the cork block is 405 cm cubed. The density of the water is 1 gram per cubic centimetre. Finally, how much of the cork will float above the water level and how much below? Thanks.
