**Problem Description:**

Calculate the work that must be done to push a cubical block of wood (dimensions L x L x L) down below the surface of a lake, from the equilibrium position to a depth where the upper face of the cube is distance L below the surface.

**Given Data:**

- Side length of the cube, L = 0.5 m
- Density of the wood block = 780 kg/m³  

**User Interface:**

- An input box for submitting the answer.
- A button labeled "Submit Answer."
- Attempt counter labeled "Tries 0/12."

In this problem, you need to consider buoyancy and the force required to submerge the wood completely below the water to the specified depth.
