Yes, you can also simplify it further. If set up with strategic datum placement an energy balance equation can be simplified even further to the ratio of densities times the height of the block equals the offset height. The block would sink half way if the density were half of the fluid. A third of the way if the density were a third.
@@oleopathic That's awesome! Congrats! And I'm actually just dipping my toe in the waters right now. I got my EIT two years ago and am just trying to see what kind of problems I need to expect when I eventually start a structured study routine. Do you have any advice for someone about to start studying for the WRE? Or what study tactics you found the most helpful? I've heard good things about the EET study course but would love to hear about the route you took.
Could you do a ratio of 2500lbs to 20,280 lbs for the float: 2500/20280 = 0.123 and 3' * 0.123= 0.37' ?
Anything that gives you the answer. We only get like 4 mins to answer each question.

That's how I did it. Thought it was wrong, but guess not!
Ncees pe hb 1.1, p. 295.
Very nice problem. Thanks.
Did you pass the PE? I've noticed that you have commented on several videos. Thanks for putting the references in the comments.
@@theengineer2020 not yet. Taking it 9/30/2023.
@@oleopathic Did you pass??
@Johndavid1451 yes, I did. :)
Are you close to passing?

wouldn't the block fall over on the 4x3 side?
I would have done what @cinwulf suggested I get 0.2465 ‘
