Question

Relative density of a body which sinks in water is
(a) >
(b) = 1
(c) <
(d) ~​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the reference material is water, then a substance with a relative density (or specific gravity) less than 1 will float in water. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

The relative density of a substance is a characteristic property of the substance that remains the same under specific conditions. The relative density of water is 1. If a substance has a relative density that is greater than 1, it will sink in water and if its relative density is less than 1, it will float in water.

In this case, the relative density of a substance is 1.5 Hence, the substance sink in water.
