Answer to Problem 84A
The plastic ball would sink into a container of gasoline.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The volume is
The mass of the plastic ball is
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. It gives the connectivity between mass and volume.
The formula of density is given as:
To calculate the density, substitute the values in the density formula.
The density of the plastic ball is
The density of gasoline is
Since the density of the plastic ball is higher than the density of gasoline, the ball would sink into the container of gasoline.
The plastic ball would sink into a container of gasoline.
