Answer only part 2
The weight of a rectangular block of low-density material is 15.0 N. With a thin string, the center of the horizontal
bottom face of the block is tied to the bottom of a beaker partly filled with water. When 25.0% of the block's volume is
submerged, the tension in the string is 10.0 N.
1. Find the buoyant force on the block.

IV. The string breaks when its tension reaches 60.0 N. At this moment, 25.0% of the block's volume is still below the
water line. What additional fraction of the block's volume is below the top surface of the oil?
