12. A 10.0-kg block of metal measuring 12.0 cm by 10.0 cm by 10.0 cm is suspended from a scale and immersed in water as shown in Figure PI4.1lb. The 12.0-cm dimension is ver- tical, and the top of the block is 5.00 cm below the surface of the water. (a) What are the magnitudes of the forces act- ing on the top and on the bottom of the block due to the surrounding water? (b) What is the reading of the spring scale? (c) Show that the buoyant force equals the difference between the forces at the top and bottom of the block.
