QUESTION 26 A beaker with a height of 12 cm is floating on the surface of water. This beaker has a mass of 400 g and is floating such that one third of its height is submerged under the surface of water. The specific gravity of steel and mercury are 7.9 and 13.6 respectively. I. What volume of steel would need to be add into this beaker for it to sink? II. If the same volume of mercury was poured in what would the initial acceleration be?
