Problem 14 - An object floats in sea water with 85% of its volume submerged. A) will it also float in glycerin? B) If so, what fraction of its volume will be submerged? If not, what is the ratio of bouyant force to weight when the object is fully submerged? C) Will it also float in gasoline? D) If so, what fraction of its volume will be submerged? If not, what is the ratio of bouyant force to weight when the object is fully submerged?
