Question:
A large, 40.0-kg cubical block of wood with uniform density is floating in a freshwater lake with 20.0% of its volume above the surface of the water. You want to load bricks onto the floating block and then push it horizontally through the water to an island where you are building an outdoor grill.
(a) What is the volume of the block?
(b) What is the maximum mass of bricks that you can place on the block without causing it to sink below the water surface?

Density helps us predict whether something will float. Density is super important to consider when building things like ships and submarines. The experiment in the video examines the water density by comparing a glass of water containing sugar with a simple glass of water
