5. The diagram above shows what happened when an irregular solid was immersed in water. This irregular solid has the same mass a
s a gold block, which is 2 cm wide by 2 cm high by 5 cm long. Using the method described in the passage, compare the density of the unknown with the density of gold. A. Equal to gold B. Less than gold C. Greater than gold D. Cannot be determined
Answer: The density increases. Explanation: As you go deeper in depth, pressure increases. Density = mass/volume. The layers beneath us due to pressure get packed to the point of being very dense.
