A block of weight mg = 45 N has part of its volume submerged in a beaker of water. The block is partially supported by a string of fixed length that is tied to a support above the beaker. When 80% of the block's volume is submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N. Water is steadily removed from the beaker, causing the block to become less submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N.The string breaks when its tension exceeds 35 N. What percent of the block's volume is submerged at the moment the string breaks? Select one: O a. 10 % O b. 15 % O c. 20 % O d. 25 %

Question
A block of weight mg = 45 N has part of its volume submerged in a beaker of water. The block is partially supported by a string of fixed length that is tied to a support
above the beaker. When 80% of the block's volume is submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N. Water is steadily removed from the beaker, causing the block to
become less submerged, the tension in the string is 5.0 N.The string breaks when its tension exceeds 35 N. What percent of the block's volume is submerged at the
moment the string breaks?
Select one:
O a. 10 %
O b. 15 %
O c. 20 %
O d. 25 %
