Physics jee problem

i think answer is given wrong please help me out

A cubical block of side $2a$ when submerged till depth $\dfrac a2$ in a liquid of density $k$ is in equilibrium
1.What is the density of the block?
2.What is the time period of shm for small oscillations?
3.What happens if it is pushed completely vertically down?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

The density, of the block, should be given, in the terms of the density, of the water?

Yes

No need. It can be easily found by equating the buoyant force and the weight of the block. Density of the block is K/4.

The time period comes out to be 2pi× sq. root of (a/2g)
