Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Volume of the block of oak, V = 200 cc
Mass of the block of oak, m = 0.12 kg = 120 grams
The density of any substance is given by mass per unit volume. mathematically, it is given by :
[tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]
[tex]d=\dfrac{120\ g}{200\ cm^3}[/tex]
[tex]d=0.6\ g/cm^3[/tex]
So, the density of the block of oak is [tex]0.6\ g/cm^3[/tex]. The density of water is [tex]1\ g/cm^3[/tex]. So, it will float on water as the density of the block of oak is less than water.
