Which object would sink in honey, which has a density of 1.4 g/cm³?

Object 1 (0.9 g/cm³)
Object 2 (1.2g /cm³)
Object 3 (0.2 g/cm³)
Object 4 (2.3 g/cm³)

To determine which object would sink in honey with a density of 1.4 g/cm³, we need to compare the density of each object with the density of honey.

  • Object 1: 0.9 g/cm³ (sinks in water but floats in honey)
  • Object 2: 1.2 g/cm³ (floats in water but still floats in honey)
  • Object 3: 0.2 g/cm³ (sinks in water but floats in honey)
  • Object 4: 2.3 g/cm³ (denser than honey, will sink)

Objects that have a density greater than 1.4 g/cm³ will sink in honey. Thus, Object 4 with a density of 2.3 g/cm³ would sink in honey.
