70% of a mass is supported by a slab of ice and the ice sinks down so that only half of what was previously exposed now is exposed. What is the mass assuming that the ice has a volume of 10 m^3 and the mass has a specific gravity of 1.0?
Why can't I use the buoyant force of the ice before and after the extra weight is added and subtract to get the weight of the object itself? I get 539.5 kg while the textbook says 790 kg. Only hints please!
