Wooden cube, density 620kg/m, is 0.08m tall, 0.12m wide, and 0.12m thick. It floats in a liquid with density 900kg/m. A string attached to the bottom of the container prevents the cube from floating up to the surface. Find the tension in the string. [8]

A hydrometer is a device used to measure the density of a liquid. It is a cylindrical tube weighted at one end, so that it floats with the heavier end downward. The tube is contained inside a large "medicine dropper," into which the liquid is drawn using the squeeze bulb (see the drawing). For use with your car, marks are put on the tube so that the level at which it floats indicates whether the liquid is battery acid (more dense) or antifreeze (less dense). The hydrometer has a weight of W = 7.70 × 10-2 N and a cross-sectional area of A = 9.03 × 10-5 m2. How far from the bottom of the tube should the mark be put that denotes (a) battery acid (ρ = 1280 kg/m3) and (b) antifreeze (ρ = 1073 kg/m3)?
A cube of some unknown substance sits on the surface of water. The cube has a mass of 0.450 kg and a volume of 0.000720 m^3.How much additional mass can be placed on top of the cube without it sinking? [The entire cube will be stationary, but submerged.]
The density of ice is 917 kg/m³, and the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m³. A swimming polar bear climbs onto a piece of floating ice that has a volume of 5.15 m³. What is the weight of the heaviest bear that the ice can support without sinking completely beneath the water? Number Units
