    You have said that 15cm³ of gold weighs 2.8N. So I may infer that each cm³

    of gold weighs about 0.19N. When I compare that figure with the 0.13N per cm³

    of mercury, it becomes immediately apparent that the gold is more dense than

    mercury. Therefore, the sample of gold, no matter what its size or weight, will

    displace its total volume of mercury, and will go on to sink entirely beneath the

    waves in the mercury.
