Problem

A solid object has a density of 0.95 g cm−30.95\,\text{g\,cm}^{-3}. It is gently released in a large tank of pure water (1.0 g cm−3)(1.0\,\text{g\,cm}^{-3}). What happens to the object? (a) It sinks and rests at the bottom. (b) It floats fully submerged just below the surface. (c) It floats with a small portion above the water surface. (d) It remains suspended at the depth where it is released.
