A student mixed several different 12 mm plastic beads together by mistake. Luckily the beads had different densities. One group

of beads had a density of 0.6 g/cm3; the other beads had a density of 1.2 g/ cm3. Describe a method the student can use to sort the beads.

Answer:

The answer is "Each student will get a glass of water and drop the bead into it but the beads float 0.6 g / cm3 and slip down to 1.2 g / cm3

".

Explanation:

One's masses would've been dissimilar, even though their width and concentrations were also equal. Whenever the type-A mass is m, then the type-B mass is 2 m. One should measure then, therefore.

Water has a 1g / cm^3 density. Although Type A is higher than air, Type B is much more compact. it means will float if they place it in water type-A where type-B sinks.
