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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Density of water,
`d_(w)=1gcm^(-3)`
Mass of substance,
`m=50g`
Volume of substance,
`V=20cm^(3)`
`:.` Density of substance,
`d=(m)/(V)=(50g)/(20cm^(3))=2.5gcm^(-3)`
As the density of the substance is greater than that of water, the given substance will sink in water.
