Question

a sealed can of mass 600 ghas a volume of 500 cm cube. will this can sink in water? density of water is 1 g/cmcube​

Answer 1

        $\text{The following parameters are given:}$

        $\text{Mass of can}(m)= 600 \: g$

        $\text{Volume of can}(v) = 500 \: cm^3$

        $\text{Density of water}(d_w) = 1 \: g/cm^3$

        $\text{We know that density of any substance} = \dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

$\implies \text{Density of can}(d_c) = \dfrac{m}{v} = \dfrac{600}{500} = 1.2 \: g/cm^3$

$\implies \: d_c > d_w$

$\implies \boxed{ \text{The can will sink in water}}$
