Transcribed Image Text:### Two Blocks in Water
The diagram illustrates two blocks of wood (labeled A and B) connected by a string submerged in a tank of water. Both blocks have an equal mass of 0.5 kg. Notably, 75% of block A is submerged in the water.
Details include:
- **Mass of each block:** M = 0.5 kg
- **Volume of block B:** 454 cm³
### Tasks
(a) Determine the tension force in the string.
(b) Determine the density of block A.
---
#### Diagram Explanation
- Two blocks, both marked with **M**, are shown.
- A string connects the blocks, with a tension force labeled **T**.
- The system is immersed in water, indicated by **H₂O**.
- The larger block, representing block B, is fully submerged.
- 75% of the smaller block, representing block A, is submerged.
##### Note: Figure labels and annotations are illustrative.
