If the object is made of only a pure element or a pure compound whose density you could look up, you could multiply the density of the substance by the volume of the object, then, assuming you are on or near Earth's surface, multiply the product by 9.8 m/s^2.
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.
all objects whose density is less than water's.
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.
Density = 2.991 g/cm3
Since density = mass/volume, D = 25/10 = 2.5g/cm^3
2x3x2=12cm3
density = mass/volume = 36 g / 12 cm3 = 3 grams per cm3
density = mass / volume = 72 g / 36 cm³ = 2 g/cm³
3 grams per cubic centimeter :D
A rectangular prism whose dimensions are 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm and 2.0 cm has a volume of 12cm3
There can be no possible answer to this question. Volume cannot be measured in g. Mass cannot be measured in cm - nor can volume.
2.5 g/cm3
A rectangular prism whose dimensions are 2.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 2.0cm has a volume of 12cm3
An object has a mass, say M It also has a volume, say V A useful relation between the above two is the ratio M/V which is defined as the density of the object. It is the mass of an object whose volume is unity. In solids and liquids, the density remains constant over temperature ranges and pressure ranges. But in gases the density is affected by temperature and pressure.
100 g / 10cm^3 = 10g/cm^3
