16:42 ( Notes June 22, 2021 at 16:42 A prismatic object 8 inches thick by 8 inches wide by 16 inches long is weighed in water at a depth of 20 inches and found to weigh 11 Ib. What is the weight in air and its specific gravity in English units? A block of wood 0.7m by 0.7m by "h" meters in dimension was thrown into the water, it floats with 0.19 m. projecting above the water surface. The same block was thrown into a container of a liquid having a specific gravity of 0.9 and it floats with 0.15 m projecting above the liquid surface. 1. Determine the value of h in cm. 2. Determine the specific gravity of the block.
