How many cubic feet is 7 inches x 7 inches x 6 foot If you have a container how much weight will it float?

7" x 7" x 6' = 2.042 cubic feet
At 62.5 lbs/ft3 , that's 127.6 lbs in water.
Such a container will float (127.6 pounds minus the weight of the container) in water.

How can you use the density of an object to predict if it will sink or float?
If the density is less than '1' , it will float. If the density is greater than '1' it will sink. Humans have a density of about 0.97 , so we float. Remember Archimedes Principle. 'The weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced'.
How much weight will a 7 inch x 7 inch x 6 foot canister float?
(127.6 pounds minus the weight of the container) in water.Different weights in other fluids.
Can we use float cullet in container glass?
Cullets doesn't float on water.
Do milk containers float?
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
Why do some objects float while others sink?
Density : if the weight per "cubic foot" is less than water it floats, if more it sinks.
Does styrofoam sink or float?
it would sink(DrStrong) The answer above may be correct, or the object might float. It depends on the density of the container. If the container is a foam cooler filled with water, it's going to be floating. That's because the weight of matter contained within the outer surface of the foam cooler will be slightly less than the weight of water of the same volume. You can call that a gross density if you wish. However, if the container was made of iron, then there is no way it will float if it is completely filled with water, since the gross density will be greater than that of water.See Archimedes Principle.
Why doesn't a vacuum filled container float in air?
no
What is a good a object that will float holding marbles?
A good object that will float is a plastic container. It worked for me. Yes a plastic container will work well it worked in my science class.
Do aluminum cans float in water?
Aluminum has a density of 2.7g/cc which is higher than that of water (1.0g/cc) and ordinarily would sink; if the can was empty and thus (like a boat) able to displace more weight in water (by virtue of its volume) than its own weight, it could then float. However, if it was filled with water, its overall density considering both the metal and the container's content, would be higher than water, and it would sink.
Would chromium float or sink in Mercury?
Chromium, with a density of 7.19 gm/cubic centimeter, will float on liguid mercury, with a density of 13.5 gm per cubic centimeter.
How does the density of a substance affect the properties of the substance?
It affects weight and size. Mainly it affects the weight of a certain volume. e.g. a cubic foot of water weighs 15 lbs but a cubic foot of iron would be about 7 times as much. Those materials which are less dense than water will float in water.
How many inches of water can float a car?
6 inches of water No 6 inches of water can cause you to loose traction and hydroplane but 24 inches of water is needed to actually float the car
