Question 943380: A 44 gram object has a volume of 35 cubic centimeters.
Will the object float if dropped in water?

Density of object = mass/volume = (44 grams)/(35 cc) = 1.257 grams per cc

Density of water = 1 gram per cc (this is at 4 degrees celsius)

Since the object's density is larger than the density of water, this means the object will sink.
