Question

define relative density of a substance. The relative density of a body is 2 will it sink or float in water? give reasons

Answer 1

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. ... For example, an ice cube, with a relative density of about 0.91, will float. A substance with a relative density greater than 1 will sink.
