Question

I'm trying to decide whether a box I have will float or not. The dimensions of the box are 100cm x 50cm x 25cm. The mass of the box is 126,500 g. Will the box float or sink in water? (density of water is 1.00 g/mL)w I'm trying to decide whether a box I have will float or not. The dimensions of the box are 100cm x 50cm x 25cm. The mass of the box is 126,500 g.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the density of an object is greater than water (

cm

3

1g

) then that object will sink. If it is less than water's density, then the object will float.

Density=

Volume

Mass

Volume of object = 350cm

3

Mass of object = 500 g

Density =

350cm

3

500g

Density = 1.42

Hence 1.42 > 1. This implies that the object will sink.

Mass of water displaced = Density of Water×Volume

=> Mass of water displaced =1×350=350g
