### 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.
