Question:

A \(15.0-\mathrm{kg}\) block measures \(0.750 \mathrm{~m}\) top to bottom, and each horizontal face has an area of \(0.0125 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\). The block hangs, with its long central axis vertical, from a wire that can support a maximum tension of \(135 \mathrm{~N}\). The block is initially submerged in water, but then the water level is gradually lowered. What is the greatest distance the surface of the water can be below the top of the block without breaking the wire?
