Question
Which of the following will sink or float on water? (Density of water = 1 g Cm-3) body B having density 2520 kg m-3

Solution
Density of water = 1 g Cm-3
Density of body B = 2520 kg m-3 = 2520 × 1/1000 = 2.52 g Cm-3
Density of body B is more than the density of water and hence B will Sink in water
