Answer:
1.111 g/cm³- Will not float
Explanation:
- Density may be defined as the mass of an object per unit volume.
- It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by volume.
- Assuming the piece of wood measures 3.0 cm by 4.0 cm by 6.0 cm and has a mass of 80.0 grams, then we can calculate its density.
- [tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}[/tex]
But; Volume = length × width × height
Volume of the wood = 3.0 cm × 4.0 cm × 6.0 cm
= 72 cm³
Therefore;
Density = 80.0 g ÷ 72 cm³
= 1.111 g/cm³
The density of the piece of the wood is 1.111 g/cm³ and will therefore, will NOT float since it has a higher density than water.
