A flask of water rests on a scale that reads 100 N. Then, a small block of unknown material is held completely submerged in the water. The block does not touch any part of the flask, and the person holding the block will not tell you whether the block is being pulled up (keeping it from falling further) or pushed down (keeping it from bobbing back up). Assume that no water spills out of the flask. The new reading on the scale is greater than 100 N. The experiment is repeated with the six different blocks listed below. In each case, the blocks are held completely submerged in the water. Mass (gg) Volume (cm3cm3) A 100 50 B 100 200 C 200 50 D 50 100 E 200 100 F 400 50 Rank these blocks on the basis of the scale reading when the blocks are completely submerged. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. If the blocks were released while submerged, which, if any, would sink to the bottom of the flask? Enter the correct letters from the table in alphabetical order without commas or spaces (e.g., ABC)

Assume that no water spills out of the flask.
The new reading on the scale is greater than 100 N.
The experiment is repeated with the six different blocks listed below. In each case, the blocks are held completely submerged in the water.
| Mass (gg) | Volume (cm3cm3) | |
| A | 100 | 50 |
| B | 100 | 200 |
| C | 200 | 50 |
| D | 50 | 100 |
| E | 200 | 100 |
| F | 400 | 50 |
Rank these blocks on the basis of the scale reading when the blocks are completely submerged.
Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
If the blocks were released while submerged, which, if any, would sink to the bottom of the flask?
Enter the correct letters from the table in alphabetical order without commas or spaces (e.g., ABC).
