Question

Each problem come with two parts, Calculate the density of the body in SI units and Will it float or sink?

1. One body in the shape of a cube with the side L = 100.00 mm and mass m₁ = 1,250.0 g (grams) is introduced in a bucket of water. Calculate the density of the body in SI units. Will it float or sink? Show your work. Explain your answer.
2. One spherical body with the volume V = 12.50 cm³ and mass m₂ = 0.010 kg is introduced in a bucket of water. Calculate the density of the body in SI units. Will it float or sink? Show your work. Explain your answer.
3. One football-shaped body with the volume V = 1.0000 × 10⁵ cm³ and mass m₃ = 100.00 kg is introduced in a swimming pool full of water. Calculate the density of the body in SI units. Will it float or sink? Show your work. Explain your answer.
