A cube of wood, of mass 0.50 kg and side length 10.80 cm, is floating in a beaker containing alcohol, as shown.
a) What is the density of the wood?
b) Ifthe wood is exactly half submerged, find the density ofthe alcohol
Homework Equations
not sure how to go about to solve density of alcohol
The Attempt at a Solution
A) p=m/v = 0.5/ (0.1080^3) = 396.92 kg/m^3
B) density of alcohol = height of box/ height of water * known p
= 0.05/ height * 369.92
not sure how to do B at all ? am i even close
