We need to find if an object with a certain density will float or sink in water.
The object will sink in water.
The density of the object is 3.6 g/mL
The density of water is generally [tex]1000\ \text{kg/m}^3[/tex]
An object which has a density more than the liquid it is in then the object will sink.
Let us convert the density of the object to [tex]\text{kg/m}^3[/tex]
[tex]1\ \text{g}=10^{-3}\ \text{kg}[/tex]
[tex]1\ \text{mL}=10^{-6}\ \text{m}^3[/tex]
[tex]1\ \text{g/mL}=\dfrac{10^{-3}}{10^{-6}}=10^3\ \text{kg/m}^3[/tex]
[tex]3.6\ \text{g/mL}=3.6\times 10^3=3600\ \text{kg/m}^3[/tex]
The density of the object [tex](3600\ \text{kg/m}^3)[/tex] is greater than that of water [tex](1000\ \text{kg/m}^3)[/tex].
Hence, the object will sink.
