A cube of wood measures 0.55 m on each side and has a mass of 133.1 kg. How far above the water is the top surface of the cube?
Can someone help me out with this one

Cheman said:But why does the water exert a force UPWARDS on the cube? It makes sense to say that Fdownwards = h1gpA, but why should the water below the cube exert a force of h2gpA upwards?
Thanks.
The distance above the water's surface is typically measured in units of length such as meters or feet.
Yes, the distance above the water's surface can change depending on factors such as the water level, tides, and waves.
Yes, the distance above the water's surface can be negative if the top surface of the cube is submerged below the water's surface.
The density of the cube can affect its distance above the water's surface because objects with higher density will sink lower into the water, resulting in a smaller distance above the water's surface.
Knowing the distance above the water's surface can be important for various reasons, such as determining the stability of a floating object, calculating buoyancy forces, and understanding the impact of waves or tides on the object.
