Problem 48PE

A simple compass can be made by placing a small bar magnet on a cork floating in water. (a) What fraction of a plain cork will be submerged when floating in water? (b) If the cork has a mass of 10.0 g and a 20.0-g magnet is placed on it, what fraction of the cork will be submerged? (c) Will the bar magnet and cork float in ethyl alcohol?

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 4

We have to calculate the fraction of  submerged of the cork in different situations.

Step 2 of 4
