Answer to Problem 52A

Lead has higher density.

Explanation of Solution

The relation between density, mass and volume is as follows:

  d=mV

The mass of both lead and water is same that is 1 kg but it is given that lead occupies smaller volume than water.

From the formula, for equal mass, density is inversely proportional to volume. Thus, lead has higher density than water.

Conclusion

The density of lead is higher than water.
