Question

Will an object with a density of 1.05 g/ml float or sink in water? Explain

Answer 1

Because water has a density of about 1.0 g/ml, the object will sink as it is more dense than the water, think about it like this, the object for example, is a rock, and you throw it into a lake, it sinks to the bottom, as it is more dense than the water is, say if another object had 0.5g/ml density, it would float, as it is less dense than the water, hope this helps :)

Answer 2

density of wood is more than water but boat float on water.....density and its surface decide will it sink or float....if surface displace more water than its weight it will float
