A solid sample has mass

48\,\text{g}

and volume

40\,\text{cm}^3

. The densities of some liquids are: Fresh water:

1.00\,\text{g cm}^{-3}

Sea water:

1.03\,\text{g cm}^{-3}

Ethanol:

0.79\,\text{g cm}^{-3}

Glycerine:

1.26\,\text{g cm}^{-3}

. (i) Calculate the density of the sample. (ii) Identify each liquid in which the sample will float when fully immersed.
