A block(unit weight = 19.5 kN/m^3) 0.51m square and 331mm deep floats on a stratified liquid composed of a 200mm layer of water above a layer of mercury(s.g. = 13.6). If a downward force of 1200 N is applied to the center of mass of this block, what is the new position of the bottom of the block relative to the mercury surface in mm?. Write numerical value only and in 2 decimal places.
