Would a piece of cork that is 10 miles wide and 10 feet tall float in a giant pool of water?
Yes. The ability of cork to float in water is a result of its low density. The same principle applies to large ships at sea: while the ship itself is very large and very heavy, the air trapped inside the hull of the ship reduces the ship's average density to less than that of the water, so it will float.
What else can I help you with?
What shapes float best?
I would say a circle shaped piece of wood (hollow) would float best because a normal piece of wood floats pretty well (square). But a circle piece of wood would float even better cause its even & hollow.

Why does the same piece of foil float or sink?
The same piece of foil can float or sink depending on its shape and how it is positioned in the water. If the foil is shaped to trap air, it will float. If the foil is crumpled or folded so it doesn't trap air, it will sink.
How can you make a piece of iron metal float?
if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.
What you called wood piece which float in water?

Will a piece of iron float in water?
No, a piece of iron will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water.
Which will float and which will sink a piece of Styrofoam a piece of oak and a gold ring?
The piece of Styrofoam will float, the piece of oak will sink, and the gold ring will also sink. Styrofoam is less dense than water so it floats, while oak and gold are denser than water so they will sink.
Will a piece of platinum float on gasoline?
No, a piece of platinum will not float on gasoline. Platinum is a dense metal with a high specific gravity, which means it will sink in liquids that are less dense than itself, such as gasoline. Since platinum is significantly denser than gasoline, it will submerge rather than float.
Why does a piece of wood does not float on oil?
because have high density than oil
Do a piece of wood float in oil?
Yes, a piece of wood will typically float in oil because wood is less dense than oil. This means that the wood will displace enough oil to support its weight and remain afloat.
Can you make a piece of aluminum foil float in air?
No, aluminum foil is denser than air so it will not float on its own. It would require a strong updraft or force, such as being propelled by a fan or other means, to keep it suspended in the air.
