let the volume be V ;
submerged volume = V ;
volume of water displaced = V ;
buoyant force = ρw V g ; -----------------1
downward force = 33 *g + ρs * V * g ------------2
but since body is in equilbrium , so eqn 1 = eqn 2 ,
ρw V g = 33 g + ρs * V * g
ρw V = 33 + ρs * V
or V ( 1000 - 32 ) = 33 ;
or V = 0.034090 m^3 <------------ans

I Review I Constants I Periodic Table A flat slab of styrofoam, with a density of 65 kg/m³ , floats on a lake. (Assume this is a freshwater lake so the water's density is 1000 kg/m³ ) Part A What minimum volume must the slab have so that a 60 kg child can sit on the slab without it sinking? Express your answer using three significant figures along with its unit. • View Available Hint(s) HÀ Value Units Vslab =...
Styrofoam has a density of 32kg/m3. What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 70-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the mass is negligible compared to that of the sphere.
Styrofoam has a density of 300 kg/m? What is the macimum mass that can hang without sinking from a 60.0 cm -diameter Styrofoam sphere in water?

A wooden raft has a mass of 100.0 kg. When empty it floats in water (density of 1000 kg/m3 ) with 40% of its volume submerged. How many students of mass 75 kg each can stand on the raft without it sinking?
A young boy at summer camp stands on a wooden raft (ρw = 700 kg/m3 ) floating in a freshwater lake (ρ = 1000 kg/m3 ) and finds that his weight just cancels the buoyancy of the raft; the water touches the soles of his feet but the raft doesn’t sink. He then jumps onto rectangular block of Styrofoam (ρs = 50 kg/m3 ). The Styrofoam has 1/3 the volume of the wooden raft, but now the top of the...
The density of ice is 917 kg/m³, and the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m³. A swimming polar bear climbs onto a piece of floating ice that has a volume of 4.47 m³. What is the weight of the heaviest bear that the ice can support without sinking completely beneath the water? Number Units
What must be the volume of a slab of floating ice in order to hold a 1000 kg polar bear without wetting her feet? Density of ice = 0.92 g/cc. Density of sea water = 1.03 g/cc.
2. A very thin, flat, uniform slab has a width (W) of 2.00 m, a height (H) of 30.0 cm, and a total mass of 16.0 kg. Treating the slab as essentially a sheet of mass- distributed uniformly over its area- do the following (i) Use integration to prove that the slab's center of mass is located at its center point. a.

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 18.1 cm and a density of 655 kg/m floats on water. (a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level? This is the length of the edge of the wood block that lies below the surface. cm (b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface?...
