Which of the following will sink or float on water? (Density of water = 1 g Cm-3) body D having density 0.85 g m-3 - Physics

Answer in Brief

Which of the following will sink or float on water? (Density of water = 1 g Cm^-3)

body D having density 0.85 g m^-3

Solution

Density of water = 1 g Cm_-3

Density of body D = 0.85 g m^-3 < 1.0 g Cm^-3
Density of body D is less than the density of water hence body D will FLOAT on water

Concept: Concept of Flotation and Sinking of a Substance (Relate to Density)
