Problem

Different types of wood have different densities. For example, the density of pine (0.5 g/...

Different types of wood have different densities. For example, the density of pine (0.5 g/cm3) is less than that of ebony (0.9 g/cm3) but more than the density of balsa wood (0.14 g/cm3). All would float in water but with different proportions of each block lying above and below the surface.

1. Draw a diagram to show what would happen if equalsized blocks of each type of wood were added to a container of water.


2. What would happen to the blocks if we replaced the water with a liquid with higher density, such as corn syrup?
