An 11.8 kg block of metal is suspended from a scale and immersed in water, as in the figure below. The dimensions of the block are 12.0 cm 8.9 cm 8.9 cm. The 12.0 cm dimension is vertical, and the top of the block is 5.00 cm below the surface of the water.

(a) What are the forces exerted by the water on the top and bottom of the block? Take P0 = 1.0130 105 N/m2. Ftop? and Fbottom?

(b) What is the reading of the spring scale?
