You didn't insert the density of water so we will going to assume.
We assume that the water has a density of 1.2 g/cm^3 and we have an mystery solid object which is 1.00 g/cm^3. Objects that have a density less than the density of water will float in water. Objects that have a density greater than the density of water will sink in the water. So, in your object it is less than the density of water so it will float in the water.

Answer: The mystery solid will sink.
Explanation:
Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of the object. The formula used to calculate density is:
[tex]\text{Density of object}=\frac{\text{Mass of the object}}{\text{Volume of the object}}[/tex]
- If the density of an object is less than the density of the liquid, the object will float in the liquid.
- If the density of an object is more than the density of the liquid, the object will sink in the liquid.
We are given:
Density of mystery solid = [tex]1.00g/cm^3[/tex]
We know that:
Density of pure water = [tex]0.9982g/cm^3[/tex]
As, the density of mystery solid is more than the density of water. So, the object will sink into the pure water.
