A cubical block is to be constructed with iron sheets 1mm in thickness. What can be the minimum value of the external edge so that the cube doesnt sink in water? Density of iron=8000kg/m³ and density of water=1000kg/m³

I solved it like this,

(L_ext-L_int)Ï_irong=(L_ext)³Ï_waterg

=> (2*10^-3)³*8000=(L_ext)³*1000
=> 64*10^-9=(L_ext)³

L_ext=4*10^-3 m

Ans = 4.8cm [2]

I got the answer! [1]

Solution:

(V_ext - V_int)Ï_irong=V_extÏ_waterg

V_intÏ_iron=V_ext(Ï_iron-Ï_water)

Let the length of edge be Lcm.

(L-0.2)³*8=L³*7

=> L â‰ˆ 4.6cm
