Depends what metal.
If I might add to the above, you cannot calculate the density of a substance without knowing its mass (weight) and its volume, since density is mass per unit volume.
On the other hand, if you know the type of metal, and that it is pure, you can simply look up the density in a table since the density of all substances is constant for that substance, regardless of the weight or volume of the sample.
What else can I help you with?
Inwater a steel will float or sink?
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
Which has the greatest density water granite iron or dry air?
Iron has the greatest density, followed by granite, water, and then dry air. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and iron has a higher mass per unit volume compared to granite, water, and dry air.
Why an iron nail sinks in water whereas a cork for the same size floats?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that cork floats on water because its cells are empty.Any object dropped into a liquid displaces that liquid. A floating object weighs the same as the liquid it displaces. An object that sinks, weighs more than the liquid it displaces, so the stone is heavier than the cork causing it to sink. and not just that, cork is a lot less dense than a stone is.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
Why iron nail sinks in water?
The density of iron is higher than that of water, so the iron nail sinks in water due to gravity pulling it downwards. The weight of the iron nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it from the water, causing it to sink.
If a sample of iron with a density of 7.874 gcm3 displaces 76.0 mL of water when placed in a beaker what is its mass?
The mass of iron is 598,4 g.
Inwater a steel will float or sink?
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
Why can an iron boat float but an iron cube can not?
The iron boat is an "empty shell" with air filled space inside, reducing its density compared to the iron cube which is iron all the way through.
What are the dimensions of a cube if the weight is 20grams?
That depends on the density of the material in the cube. It would be different if, say, the cube were made of ice, iron, or gold.
Why does a block of iron sink but not an iron boat?
A block of iron sinks because its density is greater than that of water, meaning it displaces less water than its own weight. In contrast, an iron boat floats because its overall design includes a hollow structure that increases its volume and reduces the average density of the entire object, allowing it to displace enough water to counterbalance its weight. This principle is rooted in Archimedes' principle of buoyancy.
What is the density of ductile iron in gram per cm cube?
7.86 grams/cm3===========
Which has higher density iron or carbon or water?
Iron.
Which has the greatest density water granite iron or dry air?
Iron has the greatest density, followed by granite, water, and then dry air. Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance, and iron has a higher mass per unit volume compared to granite, water, and dry air.
A piece of iron on top of a piece wood floating in a bathtub If the iron is removed from the wood what happens to the water level in the tub?
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
Why does iron sinks while iron boat floats on sea?
jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.
