Question

1. An object floats in a beaker as shown. Assuming that the graduated cylinder was empty when the object was placed in the beaker and that the beaker was full to the level of the spout, what must be true?

O A The volume of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the volume of the objedt.
O B. The volume of the water in the graduated cylinder is greater than the volume of the object.
OC The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.
OD. The density of the object is greater than the density of water.

Answer 1

C)The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of floatation which states that when the volume of a body that is floating is a little bit above the surface of the liquid it is floating in, the volume of the part of the object that is in that liquid is equivalent to the volume of that liquid.

Since Volume is inversely proportional to the mass Therefore, the statement that can be true among them is that The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.
