# A solid block of wood floats in an open tank of water on Earth, with exactly \( 60\% \) of its volume submerged. If this entire setup were transported to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is \( \dfrac{g}{6} \), what percentage of the block’s volume would be submerged?

A solid block of wood floats in an open tank of water on Earth, with exactly \( 60\% \) of its volume submerged. If this entire setup were transported to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is \( \dfrac{g}{6} \), what percentage of the block’s volume would be submerged?

- **A.** \( 60\% \)
- **B.** \( 10\% \)
- **C.** It is impossible to determine without the atmospheric pressure on the Moon.
- **D.** \( 100\% \) (The block sinks)
