suppose a scientist found a new metal like substance in the desert. He weighed the sample and found its mass to be 20 grams. The volume was determined by water displacement to be 5 cm3. What is the density of the substance? Will it sink or float in liquid water? (1g/cm3)

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

\[density=\frac{mass}{volume}\]\[\frac{20g}{5cm^3}=4 g/cm^3\]So do you think it will sink or float in water?
