Question

If a material has a mass of 24 kg has a volume of 20 litres, will it float or sink in water? (density of water = 1000 kg m–3).

Answer 1

Answer:

Students should realize that if an object weighs more than an equal volume of water, it is more dense and will sink, and if it weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense and will float. Remember that the density of water is about 1 g/cm3.

Answer 2

Answer:the object will sink

Explanation:

24/20= 1.2

The density of water 1g/m3

1.2>1

Hence it will sink
