What is the weight of a cubic meter of cork? Could you lift it?(For the density of cork, use 400kg/m3)
This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
an object has a total volume of 5 liters (which is 5000 cubic centimeters) and a mass of 4 kg. What is its density (g/cm 3power)? Will it sink or float in water?
