You hook a solid metal block of iron (iron density = 7800 kg/m3) which has a volume of V iron=6.4 X 10^-5 m^3 onto a string and dip it into a beaker of water (water density = 1000 kg/m3. The iron is partially submerged in the water and when the iron block is floating at rest, you find that the tension of the string is 4.5 N. Draw a properly labeled force diagram of the iron block. Find the fraction of the iron that is submerged in the water.

A large rectangular cube made of wood has the follow dimentions: a height, h = 2m, and an area od A = 0.25m^2. The wood that the cube is made of has a density of 800kg/m^3. The cube is then place vertically in water where it floats to rest. The density of the water is 1000kg/m^3. Then the cube is pushed down slightly (by a distance y) and released. The resulting motion is simple harmonic motion. A) Determine the mass of the cube. B) Determine the depth,d, that the cube will float. C) If the cube is pushed further down under water by a distance, y, write an expression for the net force on the block in terms of: y,A,g,p.
