Passage VII
When an object floats in a liquid, a fraction of the object extends above the surface of the liquid.
Seven objects with different densities were placed in containers of 4 different liquids. Table 1 lists the objects and their densities, in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), at 15°C.
Table 2 lists the 4 liquids and their densities, in g/cm³, at 15°C.
Figure 1 shows, for each liquid, a graph of the fraction of each object extending above the liquid's surface versus the object's density, in g/cm³.
37. Based on Table 1 and Figure 1, the fraction of Object 6 extending above the surface of the crude oil was closest to which of the following values?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
First, in table 1, you can see that the density of Object 6 is 0.6;
Then find the crude oil line in figure 1, when the abscissa is equal to 0.6, the ordinate is about 0.3
