The volume of a sealed packet is 1 litre and its mass is 800 g. The packet is first put inside water with density 1 g cm⁻³ and then in another liquid B with density 1.5 g cm⁻³. Then which one of the following statements holds true?
- A.The packet will float in both water and liquid B.
- B.The packet will sink in both water and liquid B.
- C.The packet will sink in water but will float in liquid B.
- D.The packet will float in water and sink in liquid B.
Show answer
The packet’s density is 800 g divided by 1,000 cm³, which is 0.8 g/cm³, less than the density of both liquids.
