Given information
Given in the question is about to a copper weight.
It is placed on top of a 
block of wood
It's density is 
. And its floating in water.
We need to find that What is the mass of the copper if the top of the wood block is exactly at the water's surface?
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The buoyant force on the wood equals the total weight of wood and copper.
Here, 
remains the mass of the wood and 
stands as the mass of the copper and 
is the acceleration due to gravity.
remains the mass of the wood and stands as the mass of the copper and is the acceleration due to gravity.The above condition can be rewritten in terms of density,
