Adjust the Cube’s property sliders until the Cube floats stationary in the middle of the water.

Question

Which density is greater, the (current) density of the Custom Cube or the density of the water?

Choose one • 6 points

The density of the Custom Cube.

The density of the water.

The densities are the same.
Best answer

Answer 1

To determine whether the density of the Custom Cube or the water is greater, you need to assess the floating condition. When an object floats stationary in water, the densities of the object and the water are related as follows:

• If the object's density is greater than the water's density, it will sink.
• If the object's density is less than the water's density, it will float.
• If the densities are equal, the object will remain suspended in the water.

Since the problem states that the Cube is floating stationary in the middle of the water, the density of the Cube must be less than or equal to the density of the water.

Therefore, the best answer is:

The density of the water.
