If you know the length width and mass of the boat as well as the density of the liquid how would you calculate how far the boat sinks into the liquid?

When will an object an object sink?
an objects sinks when its density is more than that of water...... that means when the density of the material is more than 1g/cm3
Why does a fork sink?
To float on water the object should have density less than that of water. But fork have density that is much more greater than that of water.Thus, a fork sinks in water.
What is the density of wood?
The density of wood is 650 kg/m3.That depends on the species of wood. Balsa is very light, D ~ 0.2. Other woods are more dense. Any that float in water have a density less than 1. If it sinks the density is greater than 1.
When a marble is dropped in a bucket of water it sinks to the bottom. Is it because the marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water or the marble has greater mass volume than the water O?
All of the above? You can say the same thing in many ways. All of the following are different ways of saying the same thing, and all are correct: The marble sinks because the marble weighs more that an equivalent volume of water. The marble sinks because its density is greater than the density of water. The marble sinks because it has a greater mass than than same volume of water (and there is gravity/acceleration).
How do you measure the volume of an object that sinks?
dont care
What is the density of object compared to the density fluid when it sinks?
The density of an object that sinks is greater than the density of the liquid in which it sinks.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
How does the relative density of objects determine whether objects float or sinks in liquids?
If the density of the object is greater than that of the liquid then it will sink. If the density of the object is lower it will float. To calculate density; density=mass(g)/volume(cm3)
How is the depth an object sinks in a liquid related to the ration of the density of solid to liquid?
An object sinks if it is more dense than the liquid it displaces. So the deeper it sinks, the more dense it is than the liquid it is submerged in.
Why does Syrup settles to bottom?
Sirup sinks in water because it is denser. Liquid of higher density always sinks in liquid of lower desity.
Is it right to say an object sinks in a liquid because it is heavier than the liquid?
No. That is informal language, and not entirely correct. The object sinks if it has a greater density than the liquid. Density is the weight (or mass) per unit volume.
What is a measure of whether an object floats or sinks in a gas or liquid?
Density!!
How do you estimate the density of a liquid?
You can put it in a glass with water and see if it floats or sinks
How do you estimate the density of the liquid?
You can put it in a glass with water and see if it floats or sinks
Is a measure of whether an object floats or sinks in a gas or liquid?
Buoyancy Difference in density.
Explain why steel sinks and cork floats?
A substance that has more density than the liquid will sink. With less density, it will float.
How do Suspensions relate to mixtures?
Suspensions are mixtures in which the density of the liquid and the solid are such that the solid neither sinks not floats in the liquid but is suspended throughout.
