Can someone please answer this.

Question

If a certain object has a density of 0.29 g/cm³, what is its specific gravity?

When this object is placed in water, what percentage of the object will float below the surface of the water?

%

Answer 1

specific gravity is defined as the density of a material divided by the density of water. Water has a density of 1.00 g/cm³ . Yes, it's the same number as before without units.

The percent of the volume of the object that floate in the water is ρ_O/ρ_W Egual to the spec. grav.

Icebergs have 89% of their volulme under water and have a density of .89 g/cm³
