Question

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Glycerin, a liquid used in some soaps, has a density of 1.26 g/cm3. If an object sinks in water but floats at a constant depth in glycerin, its density is _____.
A. between 1.0 g/cm3 and 1.26 cm3
B.exactly 1.26 g/cm3
C.greater than 1.26 cm3
D.less than 1.0 g/cm3

Answer 1

For an object to sink in something, it's density has to be higher than the object it is in, so if it sinks in water the number has be higher than 1

And to float, and objects density has to be lower than that of the substance it is put in, so it has to be lower than 1.26

So between 1 and 1.26

Answer 2

Hello! Since the object will sink in the water that has a density as 1.0, then it obviously cannot be D. If it floats at the Glycerin level at 1.26, then it cannot be C. An object or a substance can float on the exact level of density as water or liquids. The answer is B. Exactly 1.26 g/cm3. I hope I helped! Please mark me brainliest if you find suitable!
