Question

13. A solid has a mass 200 g and volume 100 cm". If it is placed on the surface of water contained in
a vessel. The solid
(a) sinks
(b) floats partly immersed
(c) floats fully immersed
(d) uncertain​

Answer 1

Answer:

thesolid sink in water

Answer 2

The correct option is (A).

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the solid, m = 200 g

Volume, $V=100\ cm^3$

If it is placed on the surface of water contained in a vessel. Lets find the density of the solid. The density of a solid is given by :

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{200\ g}{100\ cm^3}\\\\d=2\ g/cm^3$

Since, the density of water is $1\ g/cm^3$. It is clear that the density of solid is more than that of water. So, the solid will sinks. Hence, the correct option is (A).
