3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft wooden cube (specific weight 37 lb/ft3 ) floats in a tank of water. How much of the cube extends above the water surface? If the tank were pressurized so that the air pressure at the water surface was increased by 1.0 psi (i.e., 1 psig), how much of the cube would extend above the water surface? Explain how you arrived at your answer
