The density of a wax block is 0.92 g cm−30.92\,\text{g cm}^{-3}. Densities of four liquids are: • Water: 1.00 g cm−31.00\,\text{g cm}^{-3} • Kerosene: 0.80 g cm−30.80\,\text{g cm}^{-3} • Sea water: 1.03 g cm−31.03\,\text{g cm}^{-3} • Glycerine: 1.26 g cm−31.26\,\text{g cm}^{-3} In which of these liquids will the block definitely float? a) Only water b) Water, sea water and glycerine c) Only kerosene d) All four liquids
