Question

the relative density of gold is 19.3 will it float or sink

Answer 1

Hi there,
It will sink since it is having more density than water. If it was having less than 1 it will float.

Answer 2

Because of this, even if the piece of gold is first completely submerged, if it gets near the surface it willthrow off the water above it and float. The reason is that the water's surface tension acts like the straps on a trampoline. Climb on one and they will stretch downward but hold you up.How Gold Floats On Waterwaynesthisandthat.com/How%20Gold%20Floats%20On%20Water.html.
