Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is how much matter is contained within a volume. A dense object weighs more than a less dense object that is the same size. An object less dense than water will float on it; one with greater density will sink. The density equation is density equals mass per unit volume or D = M / V.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume so we can calculate density of an object by dividing the mass of the object by the volume of the object.

The density having higher will sink .

Hope it will help :
