Jamarcus Weiss · Answer 1

When the cylinder floats on the water the upstream pressure force acts on the wooden cylinder determines the thickness of the wooden cylinder.

When the cylinders float on the gas, the force of the upward thrust correlates to the weight of the water.

Answer is 5.3 X 10 - 3 k g / m 3

Material density is the correlation between the material's mass as well as how much room (volume) it occupies. A material is determined by the density of either the atoms, their size, and how they can be organised.
