Question

e) (i) A solid substance is floating in an unknown liquid. State the relation
between density of solid and liquid.
(ii) How is it possible for that substance to sink in the liquid? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Density is a measure of how heavy something is compared to its size. If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float. Density is a characteristic property of a substance and doesn't depend on the amount of substance.

Hope this answer may help you

Answer 2

Explanation:

(1). The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

(2). 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.
