Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of  body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

  • Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
  • Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
