Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find whether it will sink or float in water we must first find the density of the object

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula


density = (mass)/(volume) \\

From the question

mass = 18 g

volume = 9 cm³

So we have


density = (18)/(9) \\

We have the density as 2.0 g/cm³

The object will sink in water since it's density is greater than that of water which is 1.0 g/cm³

Hope this helps you
