Sink

Vedclass · Answer

(B) If the density of an object is more than the density of a liquid,then it sinks in the liquid. On the other hand,if the density of an object is less than the density of a liquid,then it floats on the surface of the liquid.Here,the density of the substance $= \frac{	ext{Mass of the substance}}{	ext{Volume of the substance}} = \frac{50}{20} = 2.5\, g\, cm^{-3}$.The density of the substance $(2.5\, g\, cm^{-3})$ is greater than the density of water $(1\, g\, cm^{-3})$. Therefore,the substance will sink in water.

The volume of $50\, g$ of a substance is $20\, cm^3$. If the density of water is $1\, g\, cm^{-3}$,will the substance float or sink?
