What happens when an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid? The object will sink. The object will float. The object will become a solid. The object will become a gas.

Respuesta :

The object will sink.  
The density of an object determines if it will float or sink.   If an object is less dense than the liquid it is placed in it will float. If the object is more dense than the liquid it is placed in will it will sink.

When an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid, the object will sink.  

The correct option is first.

What is density?

The density is the ratio of the mass and the volume of the object. It is denoted by ρ.

ρ = mass/Volume = m/V

Given is an object which has density greater than the surrounding liquid.

When mass is greater than volume of the object, it has higher density. Similarly, when volume is greater than mass. density is lower.

The volume is obtained by the physical dimensions of the object.

The density of an object will decide whether the object will float or sink in the surrounding liquid. If an object has lower density than the liquid,  it will float.

If the object is denser than the liquid, it will sink.

When  an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid, the object will sink.  

Thus, the correct option is first.
