Two identical containers are shown side-by-side. The left container is labeled Oil and contains a liquid with density rho. The right container is labeled Syrup and contains a liquid with density 3 rho. In each container, an identical grey cube is shown fully submerged at the same depth. Arrows labeled F_oil and F_syrup point upward from the center of each cube respectively.
A cube submerged in two different liquids of different densities.
A solid cube is held completely submerged in a container filled with a certain oil of density \( \rho \). The cube is then removed and held completely submerged in a container filled with a concentrated syrup of density \( 3\rho \). If \( F_{oil} \) is the magnitude of the buoyant force exerted on the cube by the oil and \( F_{syrup} \) is the magnitude of the buoyant force exerted on the cube by the syrup, what is the ratio \( \dfrac{F_{syrup}}{F_{oil}} \)?
