1. On a planet where the gravitational acceleration is g=10 m/s², a solid cube of wood measuring one foot on each edge exerts a uniform pressure of 3048 Pa on a flat tabletop due to its weight. Find the wood's specific gravity and state whether it will float on water. One foot is 0.3048 m.
2. A crown is made of an alloy consisting of gold (19 g/cc) and copper (9 g/cc). It weights 35 N in air, and 32.5 N when submerged in water. What fraction of its volume is gold?
