Question

What is the density of a solid that has a mass of 9.2 grams and a volume of 12.3 cm3 ? Would this object float or sink in water?

Answer 1

• Mass=9.2g
• Volume=12.3

$\boxed{\sf Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{9.2}{12.3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Density=0.74g/cm^3$

• Density of water =1g/cm^3

It will float in water
