10. A solid block of substance is 74.0 cm x 55.0 cm x 35.0 cm and has a mass of 569 kg. Assuming that it did not
chemically react with water or dissolve in it, would it float in the water? Remember to change kg to g. Show your work!

The term density refers to the ratio of the mass to the volume of a body. Now that we know that the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. A substance that would float in water must have a lower density than that of water.

Thus;

Mass of the object = 569 kg or 569000 g

Volume of the object = 74.0 cm x 55.0 cm x 35.0 cm = 142450cm^3

Density of the object = mass/ volume = 569000 g/142450cm^3

= 3.99 g/cm^3

Hence, the object would not float but sink in water.
