According to the Archimedes’ Principle, a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, experiences a vertical upward thrust equal to the mass weight of the body volume that is displaced.

In this case we have an object partially immersed in water.

If we observe in the image attached, this object does not completely fall to the bottom because the net force acting on it is zero, this means it is in equilibrium.

This is due to Newton’s first law of motion: if a body is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting on it is equal to zero

$F_{total}=0$ (1)

Here, the object experiences two kind of forces:

A force downwards because of its weight:

(2)

Where is the mass of the object and the acceleration of gravity, which in this case (on earth) is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

And a force applied upwards because of the buoyancy:

$F_{buoyancy}=d_{w}gV_{i}$ (3)

Where;

$d_{w}$ is the density of Water which is $1\frac{g}{ml}$

And $V_{i}$ is the volume of the immersed part of the object

Well, if the total net force exerted to the object is zero:

$F_{total}= F_{buoyancy}-W=0$ Note has a negative sign because this force is applied downwards

This means the buoyancy is equal to the weight:

$F_{buoyancy}=W$ (4)

$d_{w}gV_{i}=mg$ (5)

Dividing by in both sides:

$d_{w}V_{i}=m$ (6)

Now, the density of an object or fluid is the relation between the mass and the volume, in the case of the object of this problem is:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$ (7)

Where is the Volume of the object.

From (7) we can find the mass of the object:

(8)

and substitute this value in (6), in order to get a relation between the density of the object and the density of the water, as follows:

$d_{w}V_{i}= dV$

$\frac{V_{i}}{V} =\frac{d}{ d_{w}}$ (9)

$\frac{V_{i}}{V}=\frac{d}{d_{w}}=\frac{0.63g/ml}{1g/ml}$

Then;

$\frac{0.63g/ml}{1g/ml}=0.63$

This result is the same as $\frac{63}{100}$ which represents the $63\%$

Therefore the answer is:

$63\%$ of the mass of the object is below the water line or immersed in water

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater.what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
