Question

A solid body of mass 150g and volume 250cm3 is put in water. Will the body float or sink

Answer 1

it'll float or else sink

Answer 2

$\bold {ANSWER}$

First we should now about the terms used here in the question

$\bold {Volume}$ => Capacity to hold something in a box or a solid substance.

$\bold {Density}$ => It is known as mass per unit volume.


Mass = 150g

Volume = 250cm^3

Density = ?

So density = mass / volume

=> 150/250

=> 3/5

=> 0.6g cm^3

So the density of solid object is less than that of water ( 1g cm^3 )

So the object will float on the surface of water.
