Question

9. What happens if we replace this cylindrical liquid column with another object which is
made up of a material whose density is equal to the density of the liquid?
Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since density is a characteristic property of a substance, each liquid has its own characteristic density.

The density of a liquid determines whether it will float on or sink in another liquid.

A liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in.

A liquid will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Summary

Students will observe three household liquids stacked on each other and conclude that their densities must be different. They will predict the relative densities of the liquids and then measure their volume and mass to see if their calculations match their observations and predictions.
