Question

The volume of plastic box is 350 cm3 and the box has mass 200g . Will the box floating or sink in water? Why? (density of water is 1gcm3

Answer 1

Explanation:

density =mass/volume

therefore,mass= 200gm and volume= 350cm³

• substituting the values

• density = 200/350 = 0.5857142gmcm³
• as we know that the density of water = 1gcm³
• we know that if the density of water is more then that of the object the object will sink
• therefore ,the object will sink
