The volume of a piece of wood is 200cm3, and its density is 0.8 times 10 cubic kilogram per cubic meter. If you immerse it in the water and let it go, why can't the piece of wood be suspended in the water? When the piece of wood finally floats on the water, how large is the volume immersed in the water when it is still?

If you immerse it in the water and let it go, why can't the piece of wood be suspended in the water? When the piece of wood finally floats on the water, how large is the volume immersed in the water when it is still?

1. Because the density of wood block is less than that of water, the wood block floats instead of suspending
2. Because the wood is floating, so g = f floating, so p wood V wood g = P water V row G
That is 800 * 200 = 1000 * V row
Row v = 160 cm3
That is, the volume immersed in water is 160 cubic centimeters
