A rectangular tank of dimensions: 2 m x 1.4 m x I m deep contains fresh water to a depth of 0.6 m. A block of wood of mass 156 kg is then placed so that it floats freely upon the surface of the water. Calculate the load (kN) on the bottom of the tank: (i) before the block is placed on the water, (ii) after the block is placed on the water.
