A block of wood floats in water. 0.00040m^3 of the wood is under water. how much does the block of wood weigh?

Expert Solution

weight of Block of wood = buoyant force (as it is floating)
                                       = weight of water displaced
                                        = volume of water dispplaced*density*g
                                     = 0.0004*1000*9.8
                                     = 3.92 N ( 0.4 kg)
