#0.42"m"#

Explanation:

#"specific gravity of wood" ->(700"kgm"/m^3)/(1000"kgm"/m^3) = 0.7 ("no units!")#

#% "of wood immersed" = 0.7*100 = 70%#

#"volume of cube" = (0.6m)^3 = 0.216m^3#

#"depth of wood immersed" = 70%*0.215 = 0.1512m^3#

Two of its sides will remain the same while immersed. So the depth#(d)# immersed,

#0.6*0.6*d = 0.1512#

#=>d=(0.1512m^3)/(0.6m*0.6m)=0.42m#
