Will something with a density of 68 g per cubic cm sink or float in water?

Sink. Like a rock. Faster than a rock. The density of water is ~1 g/cm3. Anything more dense than that will sink.

Will something with a lower density float on something with a higher density?
A liquid with a higher density than 1g/cm3 (one gram per cubic centimeter) (the density of water) will sink in water.
How can you use the density of an object to predict if it will sink or float?
If the density is less than '1' , it will float. If the density is greater than '1' it will sink. Humans have a density of about 0.97 , so we float. Remember Archimedes Principle. 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'.
How do you find the density of floating objects?
Density: is when something has alot of weight, and obviously is very heavy Floating: is when something is light and is not as dense
When will an object float if it is kept on water?
It will float if its total density is less than that of water (1000 kg / cubic meter).
Would an object of g in volume and cm cubed be able to float in water?
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
What has a density of 0.647?
Something that will float in water.
Which planet has its density so low that it could float in water?
Saturn has a very low density and it would be able to float on water. The density of Saturn is: 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter.
If something has a density of 0.22 will it float in water?
Yes, water has a density of approximately 1
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
What is the density for something to float in water?
This density is under 1 g/cm3.
What are objects that easily float?
Anything that has a density that is lower than water will float. The lower something's density is, the more buoyancy it will have.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
