A block of wood with a mass of 60 kg and a density of 600 kg/m3 is tied to the bottom of a swimming pool with a cable. (The denisty of water is 1000 km/m3). Calculate the tension in the cable.

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

what volume of water will the block displace?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 60?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

The tension in the cable should equal the buoyant force on the wood.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

So use this...\[F_{b} = m_{f}g\]
