Question

A rectangular piece of wood measures 4cm by 6cm by 8cm and has a mass of 20g. What is density of the piece of wood? Will this piece float in water or not?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

density=mass/volume

mass=20gm(given)

volume = length x breath x height

4*6*8=192cm cube

therefore density = 20/192

= 0.104

• since the density is less than the density of water
• therefore it will float
