Q2. [10+10+12 = 32 points] Consider the wooden block having a
dimension of 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm. If released in water (water
density = 1000 kg/m3 ), 36 cm of its height remains submerged as
shown in Figure 2a. (a) What is the density of the wooden block?
Now the same block is held within a large water tank with the help
of a rope that is attached to the tank bottom as shown in Figure
2b, but in this case the block is forced to be submerged to a
height of 45 cm. Determine for this case: (b) The buoyant force on
the wooden block (c) The tension in the rope.
