Difference between a can that sinks and a can that floats.
Answer to Problem 32SSC
Due to lower density, diet coke can float on water
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: According to Archimedes principle’, Buoyant force on submerged object (or thing) in fluid is equal to weight (or mass) of displaced of the fluidby the same object.
Whether the coke will float on water or not, it depends on the sugar quantity contain in the coke.
The regular soda coke majorly contains water of density
On the other hand, diet coke contains Aspartame (an artificial sweetener). Sweetness of this aspartame is
Conclusion:
Regular soda sinks in water whereas, diet soda floats in the water because diet sad has lower density.
