Question

The specific gravity of a material is 0.76, it will ___

• A. sink in water
• B. float in water
• C. accelerate in water
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

float in water

The specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance with respect to water at 4°C. So, here the specific gravity is 0.76 which means that the material is less dense than water. So, it will float on water.
