A plastic storage drum contains 0.060 m30.060\text{ m}^30.060 m3 of oil. The density of the oil is 900 kg/m3900\text{ kg/m}^3900 kg/m3.
Calculate the mass of the oil in the drum.
The density of pure water is 1000 kg/m31000\text{ kg/m}^31000 kg/m3. The density of the plastic drum is 950 kg/m3950\text{ kg/m}^3950 kg/m3. Use this information and the density of the oil to state and explain whether the full drum will float in water.
