You have a block of a mystery material, 12 cm long, 11 cm wide and 3.5cm thick. Its mass is 1155 grams. (a) What is its density? (b ) Will it float in a tank of water, or sink?

Answer»

Solution :(a) `"Density" = "Mass"/"Volume" = (1155g)/(12 cm xx 11 cm xx 3.5 cm) = (1155g)/(462 cm^(3)) = 2.5 G cm^(-3)`
(B)The mystery material is DENSER than the water, so it SINKS.
