A 1.5 m square tank contains water to a depth of 2.6 m. A
cubical block of wood, 0.6 m on each side, it's made to float in
water inside the tank. The specific gravity of the wood is 0.5.
1.a. What is the volume of water displaced by the wood?
1.b. What is the change in the total force acting on the tank
floor if the water level increases by 50mm?
