The length of the immersed part of the wood is 0.2m.
What is density?
The density is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the object. It is denoted by ρ.
ρ = mass/Volume = m/V
Volume = Area of cross-section A x height h
Given is a piece of wood of mass 40g =0.04kg and uniform cross-sectional area A= 2cm² =2x10⁻⁴ m² floats upright in water.
The density of water ,ρ = 1000 kg/m³
The density related to length of part immersed is
1000 = 0.04/ (2x10⁻⁴ x h)
h = 0.2m
Thus, the length of the immersed part of the wood is 0.2m.
