Based on the table of densities, name the materials infer, in which an object of density 5.07 g {{cm}^{-3}} would sink and the materials on the surface of which it will float.
An object of density 5.07 g ${{cm}^{-3}}$ would sink in gasoline (p = 0.7 g ${{cm}^{-3}}$) and paraffin (p = 0.87 g ${{cm}^{-3}}$) because its density is higher than the densities of gasoline and paraffin.
However, it will float in mercury (p = 13.6 g ${{cm}^{-3}}$ ) and molten lead (p = 11.3 g ${{cm}^{-3}}$) because its density is less than the densities of mercury and molten lead.
