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 water level is needed to float a 12500 pound boat when the weight is equally distributed and the boat is flat and has a cross sectional area of 320 square feet?
To determine the water level needed to float a 12,500-pound boat with a cross-sectional area of 320 square feet, we can use the principle of buoyancy, which states that the weight of the water displaced must equal the weight of the boat. The density of freshwater is approximately 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, the volume of water displaced required to float the boat is 12,500 pounds / 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, which equals about 200.32 cubic feet. Given the cross-sectional area of the boat, the required water level (or draft) can be calculated as volume divided by area: 200.32 cubic feet / 320 square feet = approximately 0.625 feet, or about 7.5 inches.
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.
How much will 1 cubit foot of air float?
One cubic foot of air can float approximately 0.0807 pounds (or about 36.5 grams) of weight due to its buoyancy in a denser medium, like water. This is based on the average density of air at sea level, which is about 0.0807 pounds per cubic foot. In practical terms, this means that if you have a balloon filled with air that displaces one cubic foot, it can lift that amount of weight.
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 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.
How deep will a cubic foot weighing 10 pounds sink?
A object weighing 10 pounds with a volume of 1 cubic foot will sink until 0.16 of its volume is under water, and the remaining 0.84 of its volume is above the surface. At that point, the weight of the displaced water is (0.16 cubic foot) x (62.5 pounds/cubic foot) = 10 pounds, and the object will float at that depth, and sink no further.
Do turnips float?
No. Potatoes don't float because of there weight, and that there is not enough volume spread out over the surface of the water. If your potato is flat... that is a different story.
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.
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.
