Based on the density of the wood that you calculated above, would the wood float or sink if it is placed in a bowl of water? Explain your answer. Remember that the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3.
A marble or small spheremade of stoneis found to have a mass of 3.05 g. To find its volume, it is placed in a graduated cylinder that originally contains 10.00 mL of water. When the marble is placed in the graduated cylinder, the new volume of the water and marble together is 11.20 mL.
a. Calculate the volume of the marble*include units*
b. Calculate the density of the marble

Part A:
If the density of an object is lighter than the density of the water, what would you assume to happen? If it's heavier and larger? It says 'based on the calculation above', so it's up to you.
