13. A cubical block of wood of edge 3 cm floats in water. The lower surface of the cube just touches the free end of a vertical spring fixed at the bottom of the pot. Find height of block out of water. Density of wood

2
.
(A) 2.4 cm
(B) 3 cm

(C) 0.6 cm

(D) 5.4 cm

Answer: 3
When block just touches the spring, it floats freely on water. Let y is the portion of block inside water, then
W eight of block = buoyant f orce

V ρwood g = ∀ρw g

or (3 × 3 × 3 × 10−6 ) × 800g = (y × 3 × 3 × 10

y = 2.4cm

∴ Height of block out of water = 3 − 2.4 = 0.6cm
