Problem 5. The density of a wood log is to be measured by tying lead weights to it until both the log and the weights are floating completely submerged, and then

weighing them separately in air. The density of lead is 11,300 kg/m³, the density of water is 1000 kg/m³, the mass of the lead is 34 kg, and the weight of the log is 1540 N. Determine the average density of the log. Lead: 34 kg Log: 1540 N Water
