A rectangular block floats in pure water with 0.600 in. above the surface and 1.40 in. below the surface. When placed in an aqueous solution, the block of material floats with 1.00 in. below the surface. Estimate the specific gravities of the block and the solution. (Suggestion: Call the horizontal cross-sectional area of the block A.A should cancel in your calculations.)
