$A$ $20 \,g$ copper block is suspended by a vertical spring causing $1 \,cm$ elongation over the natural length of the spring. If a beaker of water is placed below the block so that the copper block is completely immersed in the liquid, the elongation of the spring is (Density of copper = $9000 \,kg/m^3$, Density of water = $1000 \,kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,cm$)
