Question

Volume of an object is 20 cm³ and the mass in 50 g. Density of water is 1 g cm^-3 . Will the object float on water or sink in Water?

Answer 1

Given:
Volume of object = 20 cm³

Mass of object = 50 g

Density of object = `"Mass of object"/"Volume of object" = 50/20` = 2.5 g/cm³

Now, we know density of water = 1g/cm³

Since, density of object > density of water, therefore the object is going to sink in water.
