Density:
* Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. It's calculated as mass divided by volume (Density = Mass / Volume).
* The standard unit for density is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Floating:
* An object will float on a fluid if its density is *less than* the density of the fluid.
* This is because the buoyant force (the upward force exerted by the fluid) is greater than the object's weight, pushing it upwards.
The Problem:
You've provided a density of 2 grams per *cubic centimeter* (2 g/cm³). This is a valid density value. However, the phrase "Acirc sup3" doesn't make sense in this context. It seems like there might be a typo.
To answer your question accurately, we need to know:
1. The density of the object: Is it less than 2 g/cm³? If so, it will float. If it's greater than 2 g/cm³, it will sink.
Example:
* Object A: Density = 1.5 g/cm³ - This object would float in the fluid.
* Object B: Density = 3 g/cm³ - This object would sink in the fluid.
Let me know if you can provide the density of the object, and I'll be happy to tell you if it will float or sink!
