It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

<em>400 cm have 1 significant figure:</em>

  • Trailing zeros are not significant in numbers without decimal points.

<em>50.0 m  have 3 significant figure:</em>

  • Trailing zeros are significant in numbers when there is decimal points.

<em>4500.01 ml have 6 significant figure:</em>

  • Zero between the non zero digits are significant.
