Chapter 1, Problem 1.111CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The status of the combination of cork and lead in the given pan of water has to be predicted whether float or sink.

Concept introduction:

• The relationship between density, mass and volume of a substance is,

$density(g/c{m}^3)=\frac{mass(g)}{volume(c{m}^3)}$

• The volume of the cube is calculated by the cube of edge length.
• The volume of the cork is calculated by the product of length, width and height.
• The density of water is $1g/c{m}^3$.
