Problem

A solid body floats in a liquid at a temperature t=50∘Ct = 50^\circ \text{C} being completely submerged in it. What percentage of the volume of the body is submerged in the liquid after it is cooled to t0=0∘Ct_0 = 0^\circ \text{C} , if the coefficient of cubic expansion for the solid is γs=0.3×10−5 ∘C−1\gamma_s = 0.3 \times 10^{-5} \, ^\circ\text{C}^{-1} and of the liquid γl=8×10−5 ∘C−1\gamma_l = 8 \times 10^{-5} \, ^\circ\text{C}^{-1} .
