Density
- The ratio of mass to volume of the body is known as the density of the material of the body.
Where ρ = density, m = mass and V = volume
CALCULATION:
Given m = 500 g, V = 250 cm3 and ρw = 1 g/cm3
- We know that the density of the object is given as,
By equation 1 the density of the packet is given as,
-
As the density of the packet is greater than that of water, thus the packet will sink in water.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
