The density of water is 1 g/cm. An object that floats displaces an amount of water with a mass equal to that of the object. An object that sinks displaces an amount of water with a volume equal to that of the object. The displaced water produces the force of buoyancy that opposes the weight force of the object. Rodney had two cubes, X and Y, made from different substances. Both cubes had a volume of 30 cm. The mass of cube X is 60 g and the mass of cube Y is 15 g. Rodney attached each cube to a separate spring balance and lowered the cubes into a container of water until X was fully submerged and Y was just floating. spring balances What readings do the two spring balances show?
