(a)
Interpretation:
Statement for the liquid in beaker A if object has a density
Concept introduction:
Density of the substance determines whether the substance sinks or floats in a liquid. Substance with less density always floats on a high-density liquid.
Density is defined as ratio of mass to the volume. Mass and volume are physical quantities and the units of mass and volume are fundamental units. The unit of volume is derived from the units of mass and volume. The SI unit of density is

- (b) Draw two liquids in a graduated cylinder on a separate sheet of paper. You won't submit the drawing as part of your answer. Liquid A has a density of 1.004 g/cm' and Liquid B has a density of 0.6223 g/cm'. Assume they don't mix. Label which liquid is on top and which liquid is on bottom, and then draw the cube where you would expect it to be if it's dropped into the graduated cylinder with these two liquids. Explain the location for liquid A, liquid B, and the cube in the graduated cylinder.arrow_forward105. Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) has a density of 1.11 g/cm².
