The volume of 50 g. of a substance is `20cm^(3)`. If the density of water is `1g//cm^(3), will the substance float or sink ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`"Density of substance"=("Mass of substance")/("Volume of substance")=cancel(50^(5))/cancel(20_(2))=-2.5g//cm^(3).`
The density of substance of is more than water so the substance sinks in the water.
