Cork has a density of about 0.60 g/cm3 . Cork will partially float in water which has a density of 1.0 g/cm3 . If the piece of cork has a total volume of 5.0 cm3 what volume of cork is below the water

3 cm³

Explanation:

Density of the cork = 0.6 g/cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Volume of cork = 5 cm³

We all know that the formula for density is given as

Density = mass/volume,

The mass of the cork is

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 0.6 * 5

Mass = 3 gram

Given that the density is 0.6, and it is partially floating, then we can say that the volume of the cork below the water is

5 * 0.6 = 3 cm³
