A uniform solid cube material 10cm on each side of mass 700g is submerged in water. which of the following best described the behavior of the cube water?
A. the cube will melt after a period of time B. the cube will float C. the cube will sink in water D. the cube will rest at an equilibrium position in water
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
For the uniform cube 10cm volume = 10 x 10 x 10 = 103 cm3 Mass = 700g ∴ density = (Mass)/Volume = (700)/100 = 0.7gcm-3 since the density is less than the density of water, the cube will float
