Which block in each of the following drawings of a balance is more dense, red or green? Explain.
a)

Interpretation:
The denser block in drawing of a balance has to be identified and explained.
Concept Introduction:
Density:
Density can be defined as property that links mass of an object to its volume. It derived quantity and its unit is
Explanation of Solution
It is known that,
Density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume.
In (a), red is identified as denser block because it is found have more mass and less volume than green block.
b)
