As long as it can displace a volume of water equal to its mass (ie its density is less than that of the water) it will float.

Most paper will have a density less than that of water (or can be so folded) so will float.

What is the reason between the floating paper clip and the tissue paper?

The floating paper clip and tissue paper demonstrate the principles of surface tension and density. The paper clip, although denser than water, can float due to surface tension, which creates a "skin" on the water's surface that supports the weight of the clip. In contrast, the tissue paper is less dense and absorbs water, causing it to become saturated and sink. This experiment highlights how surface tension can counteract gravity under certain conditions.


What happens if you ad alcohol to a container with a floating paper clip?

When you add alcohol to a container with a floating paper clip, the surface tension of the water decreases due to the alcohol's properties. This can cause the paper clip to sink or change its floating position, as the balance of forces acting on it is disrupted. If the density of the alcohol is lower than that of water, the paper clip may still float, but its behavior will be altered by the introduction of the alcohol.


Write a program to calculate compound interest?

#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> void main(); { float p,r,t; float ci(float,float,float); clrscr(); printf("\n enter principle\n"); scanf("%f",&p); printf("\n enter rate\n"); scanf("%f",&rate"); printf("\n enter time\n"); scanf("%f",&time"); printf("\n compound interest is%f ",ci(p,r,t)); getch(); } float ci(float a,float b,float c); float(result); result=p(1+r\100)^c-1); return(result); }
