the volume of 25g of a substance is 40cm^3 if the density of water is 1gm/cm^3 will the substance float or sink ?​

1 thought on “the volume of 25g of a substance is 40cm^3 if the density of water is 1gm/cm^3 will the substance float or sink ?​”

1. Step-by-step explanation:

   Given, mass of substance, m=50g;

   volume, V=20cm3; density, ρ=?

   The density of substance given is

   d=Vm=20cm350g=2.5gcm−3

   Hence the density of the substance is greater than the density of water. Hence the weight acting downwards Vdg is greater than the buoyant force acting upwards Vρwaterg.

   Hence the substance will sink in water.
