Question 1

A cylindrical piece of wood has a mass of 30 grams and a volume of 50 cmΒ³. What will happen if it is placed in water? Calculate its density and determine if it floats or sinks.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate density first using the formula.

Question 2

Design a scenario where an object that typically sinks can float by modifying its condition. Explain the logic behind your design.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider manipulating the object's overall density.
