A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. Given that the density of gasoline is approximately 0.7 g/ml, will a block of material having a volume of 2.5 x 10^4 cm^3 and weighing 50 kg float or sink when placed in a tank of gasoline? Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The block of material will sink in gasoline.

Explanation:

Since the density of the block (2 g/cm³) is greater than the density of gasoline (0.7 g/ml), the block will sink in the gasoline.
