For a given body to drown in oil, the following inequality must be fulfilled: ρн <ρт and ρн <m / V.
Variables and constants: ρн – oil density (ρн = 800 kg / m3); m – body weight (m = 600 g = 0.6 kg); V is the volume of the body (V = 400 cm3 = 400 * 10-6 m3).
Calculation: ρн <m / V.
800 <0.6 / 400 * 10-6.
800 <1500 (correct).
Answer: The given body will sink in oil.
