The density of a floating body can be determined bytying weights to the body until both the body and the weights are completely submerged, and then weighing them separately in air. Consider a wood log that weighs 1540 N in air. If it takes 34 kg of lead (ρ = 11,300 kg/m3) to completed sink the log and the lead in water, determine the average density of the log.
