(b) The liquid is denser than water (density pw) and does not mix with it. If water is poured on the surface of the liquid, how deep must the water layer be so that the water surface just rises to the top of the block? Express your answer in terms of L, PB, PL, and pw. (c) Find the depth of the water layer in part (b) if the liquid is mercury, the block is made of iron, and the side length is 10.0 cm. ●●●

(b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
