How much of the volume of a 200 kg / m3 cork float floating in water is submerged?

Data: ρп – density of the considered cork float (ρп = 200 kg / m3).

Const: ρw is the density of the water in which the float is immersed (typically ρw = 1000 kg / m3).

To find out the ratio of the immersed part of the float to its total volume, consider the equality:

Ft = FA;

mp * g = ρw * g * Vlim;

ρp * V = ρw * Vlim;

Vlim / V = ρw / ρp.

Let’s calculate: Vpogr / V = 200/1000 = 1/5.

Answer: According to the calculation, 1/5 of the considered cork float is immersed in water.
