i have a physics problem about buoyancy and could really use some help!
a cubical block of wood 10cm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with the lower surface 2cm below the interface. the density of oil is 0.6 g/cm^3 and the density of water is 1.00g/cm^3. what is the mass of the block?
it also has a picture that shows that the container is filled with 10cm of oil on top of 10 cm of water.
force=(density)(volume)(gravity)
i have no idea where to even begin!
