Question

The object shown above has a mass of 10g. It is slowly lowered into the beaker of water as shown. Will it float?

Not enough information
No
Yes

Answer 1

To determine whether the object will float, we need to know its density compared to the density of water. An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water (which is approximately 1 g/cm³).

Since only the mass of the object is provided (10g), we also need to know its volume to calculate its density. Without that information, we cannot definitively say whether the object will float or sink.

Therefore, the correct answer is: **Not enough information.**
