5) A boy uses a wine bottle cork as a fishing float. The cork has a diameter of 20.0 mm, a length of 40.0 mm and a relative density of 0.460. Determine:
a) the volume of water the cork displaces while floating on its own in fresh water;
b) the maximum mass of spherical lead sinker which the cork can support before it sinks completely (ignore the volume of the small steel hook and fishing line).

Estimate H if the bottle is kept at 13 °C Wine bottles are never completely filled: a small volume of air is left in the glass bottle's cylindrically shaped neck (inner diameter d- 18.5 mm) to allow for wine's fairly large coefficient of thermal expansion. The distance H between the surface of the liquid contents and the bottom of the cork is called the "headspace height (Figure 1), and is typically H 1.5 cm for a 750-mL bottle filled at...
