How to find the relative density of a floating object if
(a) one-third of its volume is above water
(b) three-fourths of its volume is inside water
a)
one-third of its volume is above water
two -third of its volume is inside water
(a) one-third of its volume is above water
(b) three-fourths of its volume is inside water
a)
one-third of its volume is above water
two -third of its volume is inside water

Mass of the object = Mass of water displaced
V d = (2/3) V * 1000
d = (2/3) 1000
d/ 1000 = 2/3
Relative density = d/1000 = 0.67
Note that objects which are of less density alone will float.
