Question

The volume of a 40g body is 20 cm (in cubic form). If the density of water is 1g/cc will the body float or sink in water ?

Answer 1

Hi friend ,

Volume of the object = 20cm^3
Mass of the object = 40 g
Density of the object = mass/ volume
Density = 40g/20cm^3
Density = 2g/ cm^3

Since the density of the object is more than the density of water the object will sink in water.

Answer 2

Hi there !!!


Mass of the solid is given as 40 grams

Also ,
Volume = 20 cm³


We know that ,

Density = Mass / Volume

= 40 / 20
= 2 g /cm³( approx.)

Density of water = 1 g /cm³

For an object to sink , its density must be more than the density of water.

Also , for an object to float , its density must be less than the density of water.


===================================

Here , in this case :

Density of solid is more than density of water.

Hence , the solid will sink.

2 g/cm³ > 1 g/cm³
