The boats density (wood, steel) doesn't matter. The vessel has to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to keep water from coming inboard. Freeboard is the height from the sea level to the lowest point of the walls of the ship.

∙ 11y agoFloating means it has a less density than water.That means the density of the object.Density of the material which the object is made may have a density higher than water.

How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an objects density is 1 or less, it will float on water
What are the materials that float on water?
anything that has a density <1.0 will float on water
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
No. To float density must be less than 1 (the density of water).
How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
Can coal float on water?
coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density (; hope this helps you out! coal can float on water, because water's density is 1.0 g/cm3. and nothing is able to float on water unless it's density is less than water's density.

Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
How does density tell you if an object will float pure water?
If an objects density is 1 or less, it will float on water
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
What are the materials that float on water?
anything that has a density <1.0 will float on water
Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?
No. To float density must be less than 1 (the density of water).
How do you float yard eggs?
An egg float on salted water because the density of the egg is lower the the density of this water.
Would an object with a density of 0.85g per ml float sink or remain suspended in tap water?
Float - The density of water is 1.0, anything with a density less than this will float in water.
Why do non soluble solid float nor sink in water?
A solid float on water if the density is lower than the density of water.
Does kerosene float on water-?
no, beacuse there is more sugars patick present in it so it floats
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
