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.

Why does a container ship that is fully loaded float?

A fully loaded container ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the ship is supported by the water it displaces, according to Archimedes' principle. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the ship will float.


What does a solid block with a lower density than water do in a container of water?

A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water. This is because the buoyant force acting on the block is greater than its weight, causing it to rise to the surface and float.


What allows big containers to float in water?

Big containers float in water because their density is less than the density of water. The buoyant force pushing up on the container is greater than the weight of the container pushing down, so it floats. This is based on Archimedes' principle.


If you dropped a cork in a container of water would it sink or float how do you know?

A cork would float in water because it is less dense than water. This means that the cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float on the surface of the water.

How deep will a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds sink?

The sinking depth of a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds will depend on the density of the material it is floating in. If the density of the material is less than the density of the cubic foot, it will float. However, if the density of the material is greater, it will sink until the weight of the displaced material equals the weight of the cubic foot.


Do milk containers float?

Would the same object as above sink or float in a container of fresh water with a density of 1.0 gmL?

The object would float in fresh water since its density is lower than that of water (1.0 g/mL). The object displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which is less than the weight of water it displaces, causing it to float.
