A piece of wood is 0.6 m long, 0.250 m wide and 0.080 m thick. The density of wood is 600 kg/m^3. What volume of lead must be fastened underneath it to sink the wood so that its top is just even with the water level? Use 11.3x10^3 kg/m^3 for the density of lead and 1.0x10^3 kg/m^3 for the density of water.

A block of wood floats on water. The density of the
wood is 0.613 g/cm3. Its mass is 243 g. Find the minimum mass (g)of lead we
must attach to the block so that it will sink, along with the lead.The density of lead is
11.3 g/cm3. Caution: you must take into account the buoyant forceon the lead, as well
as on the wood.
