A thin, rectangular-prism-shaped piston has sides 0.01 m and 0.015 m in length. The piston is pushed a horizontal distance of 0.25 m along a tube attached to a larger water tank, as shown in the diagram. The tube has the same cross section as the piston. The water tank is a rectangular prism with a cross section that has sides of lengths 0.05 m and 0.075 m. Floating on top of the water in the tank is a thin, wooden, rectangular-prism-shaped plank that has the same cross section as the water tank. Assume that the friction between the piston and the tube and that between the plank and the tank is negligible. What is the distance 𝑑 that the plank rises?

• 1 cm

• 2 cm

• 0.01 cm

• 0.02 cm
