Density




Question: When the solid is out into the liwuid, both of same density, will the solid float, sink or...?

Is it A, B or C ?

My Hypothesis: I guess that it will be at B.
My Reason: Since it is the same density, it will neither sink nor float, so it will remain in the middle.

According to research...to me, some of the information will be understood only if you went to the website...

...Methods depending on the free suspension of the solid in a liquid of the same density have been especially studied by Retgers and Gossner in view of their applicability to density determinations of crystals. Two typical forms are in use; in one a liquid is prepared in which the crystal freely swims, the density of the liquid being ascertained by the pycnometer or other methods; in the other a liquid of variable density, the so-called "diffusion column," is prepared, and observation is made of the level at which the particle comes to rest. The first type is in commonest use; since both necessitate the use of dense liquids, a summary of the media of most value, with their essential properties, will be given...
