If the water covers the block entirely,<br />

then accord<strong>in</strong>g to Archimedes'<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>ciple,Vopog=V2Plg+ (Vo- V2) P2i,<br />

where Po is the density of iron.<br />

Solv<strong>in</strong>g the equations, we obta<strong>in</strong><br />

h- PI (PO-P2) Vo<br />

- P2 (Pt-P2) At<br />

If the water does not cover the<br />

block, Archimedes' pr<strong>in</strong>ciple can be<br />

Fig. 380<br />

written as VoPog=V2Plg+hAp~,<br />

where A=V:/ 3 is the area of a block<br />

face. In this case the sought height h PoV o<br />
