2. Question… If the lead weight is dropped into the beaker of water… will it sink or float? d= 11.4 g/ml What will happen if it is dropped into the mercury? If the lead weight is dropped into the beaker of water… will it sink or float? d= 11.4 g/ml What will happen if it is dropped into the mercury?

3. ***ALL solids have the same volume of 15.6 ml Masses: pine = 5.4g acrylic = 17.3g steel = 128.5g wax = 9.8g pvc = 13.7g

4. 1.) Why don’t the liquids mix? 2.) Why do the liquids layer in exactly this order? 3.) If the steel cube is dropped in, where will it go? 4.) If the wood match is dropped in, where will it go? 5.) If the acrylic block is dropped in, where will it go? 6.) If the wax block is dropped in, where will it go? 7.) If the pvc block is dropped in, where will it go?
