^You and your partner only need to measure two wood types, but you should record data for other wood types to
include on your graph. All you need to record for those is X and Y.
* These are the columns you will graph. The values in these columns should be expressed as decimals.
** The density of water is 1 g/cm?
*** Htotal Should come from the third column.
1. Graph columns X and Y on the next page. Label your axes, graphing the column labeled X on the
X-axis and Y on the y-axis.
2. Based on the graph, describe the relationship between the density ratios and the height ratios. See
Figure 3.
3. Write an equation that expresses how the density of the wood block relates to the height of the
block below the equilibrium line. The only thing on the left-hand side of the equation should be
Hbelow. (Remember: The wood block is floating in equilibrium when it has displaced a volume of
water that has the same mass as the entire wood block. If the wood block is 80% as dense as
water, then 80% of the block will sit below the water line.)

4. Now rewrite the equation so that it is solved for the height of the wood block above the
equilibrium line.
