A cylindrical wood puck (density = 0.75 g/cm3 ) is placed into a water bath. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. The wood puck has a diameter of 11.0 cm and a height of 3.5 cm. When the puck reaches equilibrium in the water bath, how far below the surface of the water will the bottom of the puck be?

If the puck had twice the height, how would the submerged depth change?

If the puck had twice the radius, how would the submerged depth change?
