Question

A sealed cane weighing 600 g has a volume of $400c{m}^3$. Will this cane sink in the water? The density of water is $1g/c{m}^3$.

Answer 1

Step1: Given data:

Mass of cane (m) = 600 g

The volume of cane (V) = $400c{m}^3$

Density of cane (d) = ?

Step2: Formula used:-

$Density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Spep3: Finding the density of cane:-

Applying, the formula of density,

$d=\frac{600}{400}=1.5g/c{m}^3$

So, the density of cane is 1.5 $g/c{m}^3$.

As the density of cane is greater than the density of water, hence it will sink in water.
