It is because the buoyancy of water is greater than that of air.
In other words, the force pushing up on an object is equal to the weight of the same volume of whatever the object is in as the volume of the object. For example, a 1'x1'x1' cube submerged in pure water has an upward force on it of 62.4 pounds because the density of water is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot.
if the substance of the element has greater density you can make it float by carving it out so weight over volume of the object is lighter in effective density
It depends on theplywood density if it is denser then water then you would have to make a shape causing it to displace an equal or greater amount of water in weight for it to float.
Flour and water are two substances whose weights are referenced to the same system of weights ... the avoirdupois system. Therefore the "pounds" used for each of them are the same pound. So 155 pounds of flour and 155 pounds of water have exactly the same weight, namely 155 pounds. There's no way to tell them apart using a scale.
our bodies are mainly composed of liquid (water), which is measured in ml's, so 4ml's has greater mass eventhough is not solid, it's still part of the weight added to anything solid or space.
13500 litres of water weights approx 132.3 newtons.
Objects that float displace more water than objects that sink because the buoyant force acting on the floating object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. This means the weight of the floating object is less than the weight of the water it displaces, causing it to rise and push out more water. Objects that sink do not displace as much water because their weight is greater than the weight of the water they could displace.
No, the weights of the two objects in air do not have to be the same even if they undergo the same loss in weight when immersed in water. The weight of an object in air depends on its mass and the gravitational force acting on it, whereas the loss in weight when immersed in water is due to the buoyant force exerted by the water, which is based on the volume of the object and the density of water.
Objects sink in water when their density is greater than the density of water. This means that the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to displace water as it sinks.
Objects float when the weight of the water they displace is greater than their own weight, creating an upward buoyant force. Objects sink when their weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on them, causing them to descend in the water. The density and shape of an object determine whether it will float or sink.
The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
Objects that float on water are less dense than water, which allows them to displace enough water to support their weight and remain on the surface. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by the water is greater than the downward force of the object's weight.
I assume you mean "What happens if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water it displaces." If so, the answer is simple, it sinks. If an objects weighs less than the weight of the water it displaces, it floats.
If an object has a lower density than water, it will float. If an object has a higher density than water, it will sink. This is because objects will displace an amount of water equal to their own weight, and if the weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float.
Objects float in water when the weight of the water displaced by the object is greater than the weight of the object itself. This creates an upward buoyant force that helps keep the object afloat. The density of the object and the density of the water are key factors that determine whether the object will sink or float.
Objects float on water when they displace an amount of water equal to their weight, creating an upward force called buoyancy that counteracts gravity. This buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, allowing it to float. Objects like boats or ships are designed to displace enough water to keep them afloat.
Those objects that have a greater density than water will sink in the water. This comes from Archimedes' principle which states that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the object. If the object has a greater density than the water, then it would displace more water than is possible by its volume, so it sinks.
Heavy objects generally sink when placed in water because the density of the object is greater than that of water, causing it to displace less water and sink. For an object to float, it must displace an amount of water equal to its own weight.
