Question

A stone has a mass of

Answer 1

The stone will sink

Explanation:

First, note that the Stone has 100g/10mL. Simplify by dividing.

100/10 = 10/1

The Stone has 10g/mL. Note however, that the Water's density is only 1 g/mL

As 10 > 1, ∴ Stone > Water. The Stone will sink.

Answer 2

To find the density of the stone divide the mass by the volume:

Density of stone = 100 grams / 10 ml = 10g/ml

Since the density of the stone is more than the density of the water, it will sink.
