Interesting question. Put the grape in water and I believe you will see it floats. It is lighter than water. Now, put a paper clip in water and you will see it sinks. So the paper clip must have a density greater than water. It has a higher density. The weight of the object does not matter. Density is weight divided by volume. You may also be wondering why some fruits float and others sink in water. Fruits contain water and sugar. This alone would make them slightly heavier than fresh tap water. However, in the skin of fruit, there are openings that contain air. Even a little air can compensate for the extra weight of the sugar. There is a second way to answer your question, you can look up the densities of aluminum (what a paper clip is made of) and water (which is approximately the density of the grape). Just enter aluminum and density into Google, and you will find the density of aluminum much higher than water (density ~ 1 gm/cc).

It is sand-I did the question
Will a paper clip sink or float?
A paper clip would float not sink. The only stuff that would sink would be the heavy stuff like a TV. thanks 4 the answer bro well the scientific way would be if the density of the object is greater than 1g/ml it will sink, if it less than 1g/ml it will float.
What is the centimeters when the magnet and metal paper clip is a strong magnetic?
The least # of centimeters, the greater the magnetic attraction.
Why clip can float on water?
Assuming the paper clip to be made of iron or aluminum To understand this you will need to study buoyancy and stuff... let me explain buoyancy in a nutshell, buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid( gas or liquid) on any object partially or fully submerged in it. for example, when you try pushing a plastic beaker in a tumbler of water, you would have definitely felt a push this is buoyant force. buoyant force = volume of object immersed * density of the fluid * g. As a paper clip possesses a greater volume it experiences a greater amount of buoyancy which keeps it afloat. however a nail which has a comparable lesser volume sinks. hope it helps
