To Explain: Whether an ice cube float in a glass of alcohol or not.
Answer to Problem 8Q
No
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Density can be defined as the ration of the mass to the volume.
It is represented as
Its SI unit is
Mathematically,
The object having less density in comparison to the liquid will float on the liquid surface while the object having more density in comparison to the liquid will sink in the liquid.
Density of ice
Density of alcohol,
Since the density of the ice cube is more than that of the alcohol.
Therefore, it will sink in the alcohol
Conclusion:
Ice cube will not float in the glass of the alcohol because of its higher density.
