Question

Which objects will sink or float if the density of pure water is1/gm or 1gm/cm3. The following of the following objects will sink or float if the mass, volume, and density of the objects are:
Small sized block : mass=4.5 grams, volume=2.744 cm3, density: 1.63
Large block: mass=8.8 g, volume=8, Density=1.1
Clothespin: mass=4.5 g, volume=10mL, density:0.4
Copper Stone: mass=4.0 grams, volume=1mL, density=4
Large Nut: mass: 15.8 grams, volume=2mL, density: 7.9
Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

Small sized block : mass=4.5 grams, volume=2.744 cm3, density: <u>1.63 sink</u>
Large block: mass=8.8 g, volume=8, Density=<u>1.1sink</u>
Clothespin: mass=4.5 g, volume=10mL, density:<u>0.4 float</u>
Copper Stone: mass=4.0 grams, volume=1mL, density=<u>4sink</u>
Large Nut: mass: 15.8 grams, volume=2mL, density: <u>7.9 sink</u>
