Percent submerged

A 100 kg cube with side length .5 m is placed in a fluid of specific gravity 1.2. What percent of the object is submerged in the fluid?

Closed

The percent submerged is

%=density_object/density_fluid.

You can find the density of the object by m/V, and the density of the fluid is (specific gravit)×(density if water, 1000 kg/m^3)
