sea (sp. gr. = 1.24). Find the percentage of the volume draft to its
total volume.
a. 72.52%
b. 73.69%
c. 70.04%
d. 68.35%
)2. A cube with a side of 550 mm. What force is required to
completely submerged the cube in water if its specific gravity is
0.80?

b. 326.4 N
c. 344.6 N
d. 245.3 N
B. A tank containing water has a total of weight of 75 kg when
weighed. Obtain the new reading on the weighing scale if a 50
mm by 50 mm piece is wood is held vertically in the water to a
depth of 600 mm.
