A cube of wood floating in water supports a 200-g mass resting on the center of its top face. When the mass is removed, the cube rises 2.00 cm. Determine the volume of the cube. A cork has a measured mass of 5.0 g in air. A sinker has a measured mass of 86 g in water. The cork is attached to the sinker and both together have a measured mass of 71 g when under water. What is the density of the cork? A cube of wood floating in water supports a 200-g mass resting on the center of its top face. When the mass is removed, the cube rises 2.00 cm.
