PROBLEM # 3 1. A solid block is 70 cm wide, 80 cm long and 20 cm tall, and has a mass of 6700 gm. Estimate the solid block volume (in m). 2. Estimate the density of the block in kg/ m³. 3. If the block were floating in fresh water (with the 70 cm by 80 cm face down), the block would be submerged under water by what length? 4. How much extra mass can the block support without sinking?
