Relative Density

Two solids A ...

Question

Two solids A and B of density 2.5 $g / c m^{3}$ and 0.80 $g / c m^{3}$ are placed in a liquid L of density 1.2 $g / c m^{3}$ . Which solid is likely to float and why?

Open in App

Solution

Solid B will float because its density is lower than the density of the liquid L
