What is true of the mass and volume of all sinking objects?

Asked by Gabgab

Answer (3)

The mass of any sinking object, when divided by its volume, results in a number that is greater than the density of the fluid in which the object is sinking.
THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS TRUE OF THE MASS AND VOLUME OF ALL SINKING OBJECT
We have, Density = Mass / volume
For objects sinking in a liquid, Density > Mass / Volume

Sinking objects have a mass-to-volume ratio (density) greater than the density of the fluid in which they are submerged. This relationship means that the object's weight exceeds the buoyant force acting against it, causing it to sink. Thus, for any sinking object, its density is always greater than the fluid's density.
