float

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the weight would be high so the density would be less

Answer:

If an object has a density of 0.375
(g)/(c m^(3))
it will float on the surface of the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Density is stated as the "mass per unit volume" of the substance.
  • Density measures the quantity of matter present in an object to its volume.
  • For pure water the density value is 1
    (g)/(c m^(3))
    .
  • For example, if an object is placed in a vessel and its density value is smaller than the water density it floats on the surface.
  • If the object has more density value than the water density it sinks into the vessel.
