Question

An object will sink in a liquid if the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid.The mass of a sphere is 11.37 g. If the volume of this sphere is less than _____ cm3,
then the sphere will sink in liquid mercury (density 13.6 g/cm3)

Answer 1

oh use density formula
density = mass/ volume
you have density at which the sphere would sink
and you have the sphere's mass
so find the volume
volume = mass/ density
you will get the volume at which the sphere will sink in liquid mercury

Answer 2

Okay. Got it :)
