Answer:
Given the following list of densities, which materials would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves melt?
Densities (g/mL): lead = 11.4, glass = 2.6, gold = 19.3, charcoal = 0.57, platinum = 21.4.
glass and charcoal
Explanation:
The density of molten lead is about 10.65Kg/m^3
By Archimedes principles, the buoyancy of an object in a fluid is proportional to the mass of fluid displaced
which in turn is proportional to the object's density
Generally an object well float when placed on a denser medium
glass =2.6, and charcoal =0.57 are both less dense so they will float on Lead
