An object will sink in a liquid if the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid. The mass of a sphere is 0.723 g. If the volume of this sphere is less than ________ cm3, then the sphere will sink in liquid mercury (density = 13.6 g/cm3).

A) 0.0532
B) 18.6
C) 9.31
D) 7.48
E) 0.345

Solutions

Expert Solution

Density = mass / volume

Here we want to find the density if the object is floating. For that object should have the same density as mercury.

When the volume decreases density increases and the object sinks. Therefore volume should be less than 0.0532
