A block of mass M=0.525kg is floating stationary in a beaker of water. A string connected to the bottom of the beaker holds the block in place. The tension in the string is 7.10 N. The bottom of the block is floating a distance h=1.66cm above the bottom of the beaker.

Question

A block of mass M=0.525kg is floating stationary in a beaker of water. A string connected to the bottom of the beaker holds the block in place. The tension in the string is 7.10 N. The bottom of the block is floating a distance h=1.66cm above the bottom of the beaker. 
What is the magnitude and direction of the buoyant force acting on the block? What is the density of the block?
