A cubical block with length \( L \) is floating in water. At equilibrium, a fraction \( f \) of the block is submerged under the water. The density of water is \(\rho_{w}\).
Equilibrium position
Displaced position
(i) What is the average density of the block? Express the answer in terms of \( f \) and \(\rho_{w}\).(3 pts)
(ii) If the block is displaced vertically from the equilibrium position by a distance \( x \), with \( x \ll(1-f) L
A cubical block with length \ ( L \ ) is floating
