Mechanical Properties of Fluids · Fluid statics

A tube is filled with water and a wooden cube

10\ \mathrm{cm}\times10\ \mathrm{cm}\times10\ \mathrm{cm}

is placed in the water. The wooden cube is found to float on the water with a part of it submerged in water. When a metal coin is placed on the wooden cube, the submerged part is increased by 3.87 cm. The mass of the metal coin is gram. (Take water density as

1\ \mathrm{g/cm^3}

and density of wood as

0.4\ \mathrm{g/cm^3}

)
