The container has the shape of cuboid. Our body also has the shape of cuboid with dimensions 1 x 1 x v We Assume that:

  1. The body will remain in the upright position during insertion into the water.
  2. Body that has the same density as water will submerge.
  3. $1cm^{3}$ of water = 1g (gram)

I have specified these values and I need to calculate the fluid level after we put body inside our container with water. I need to do general solution for it.

In order:

1. Length of botton sides of container (Assume that the height of the container is sufficient for our problem). (s x d)

2. The water level before we put body inside. (h)

3. The weight of out body. (m)

4. Height of body. (v)

Here are some examples: s=2 d=2 h=100 m=150 v=80 the Level of water after insertion=120

another example: s=2 d=2 h=100 m=150 v=140 the Level of water after insertion=133.3333333

one more:s= 2 d=2 h=100 m=10 v=160 the Level of water after insertion=102.5000000

I removed the fluid dynamics tag - this isn't a fluid dynamics question. Homework/drill questions aren't within the scope of the site. If you have questions about specific physics concepts though, don't hesitate. – twistor59 Jan 4 at 20:07
