Consider a spongy block of mass mm floating on a flowing river. The maximum mass of the block is related to the speed of the river flow vv, acceleration due to gravity gg and the density of the block ρ\rho such that mmax=kvxgyρzm_{\text{max}} = k v^x g^y \rho^z (kk is constant). The values of xx, yy and zz should then respectively be:
