It depends on the density of the cube, not the length of its side.

What layer would a solid cube with 6-cm sides and a mass of 270 g float?

Volume of cube = 6^3 = 216 cm^3 Density of cube = 270 g / 216 cm^3 = 1.25 g cm^-3 This cube would not float in water as its density is greater than the density of water at 1 g cm^3

What law explains the floating objects on water?

Weight of object(newtons) - Density(measured in grams/cm cube) of water(or other substance) x volume(measured in cm cubes) of water(or other substance) displaced If the result is positive it will sink with as if it had a weight of the result, if the result is negative it will float. The basic definition is anything less dense than water will float on it (anything with a density of less than 1 gram per centimeter cube)


If you had an object with a density of 1.12gcm cubed would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35gcm cubed?

Sinking or floating also depends on the density of the object


Will something with a density of 68 g per cubic cm sink or float in water?

Sink. Like a rock. Faster than a rock. The density of water is ~1 g/cm3. Anything more dense than that will sink.


If a singular of dice is a cube 1 cm on each side has a mass of 2 grams will it float?

If u mean in water, no... 1cm cube of water is 1g so a dice 1cm an d is 2g will not float... DENSITY! (I'm still in year 7 XD)


The length of the edge of a cube is cube root of 6 cm Find the volume of the cube?

In order to find the volume of the cube you multiply length * width * height which is cube root of 6 cm * cube root of 6 cm * cube root of 6 cm = 6 cubic cm


What is the side length of a cube with a volume of 942 cm cube?

It will be the cube root of 942 which is about 9.802803585 cm


Why does oil float on the water?

Because the specific gravity of oil is lower than that of water. The density of water is 1 g/cm 3 and since the density of oil is less than 1 g/cm 3 it will float. if the density was more than it would sink.


What is the side length of a cube with a volume of 216 cm cube?
