What would happen to the block if it had a density of 0.500 kg/L and was placed in the same 100.0 L tank of water?


Select the correct answer below:



It would sink.



It would float.



It would initially sink and then rest in the middle of the tank.



There is not enough information to answer this question.

Respuesta :

I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.

The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.

Answer : The correct option is, It would float.

Explanation :

As we know that the density of water is, 1 kg/L.

The given density of block is, 0.500 kg/L.

  • When the density of a substance will be greater than the density of water then the substance will sink in the water.
  • When the density of a substance will be lesser than the density of water then the substance will float in the water.

As per question we conclude that, the density of substance (block) is less than the density of water. So, the block will float in the tank of water.

Hence, the correct option is, It would float.
