In Johnny’s Physics class, they were tasked to think and suggest a way to make a stainless-steel spoon float on water using the following materials only –stainless steel spoon, a container of water, and a supply of olive oil. Jim, who is Johnny’s groupmate, suggested to coat the spoon with olive oil. Jim reasoned that this would work since olive oil is less dense than water, the spoon will float on the surface of the water with the olive oil.

Hearing Jim’s explanation, Johnny was doubtful if Jim’s suggestion would really work.

If you were Johnny’s groupmate, using your understanding of the Physics you learned, write an explanation whether Jim’s suggestion would work or not.
