When a ball is immersed in water it displaces 36 pi cubic centimeters of water what is the radius of the ball?
24cm
How do you know a substance will float?
If a certain volume of something (like a beach ball) was the same as a certain amount of water(water the size of the beach ball), but it weighs less, than it will float. An ordinary marble weighs a lot for it's tiny size, and in that case it will CERTAINLY sink in water. Everything that I said about an amount of something weighing a certain amount of g/kgs/tonnes, is called 'Density', like planet Saturn. This planet is the densiest and CAN float on water if it could...
Why does a heavy steel ship float but a small steel ball bearing sink?
A heavy steel ship can float because it is designed in a way that allows it to displace a large volume of water, which creates an upward buoyant force greater than its weight. On the other hand, a small steel ball bearing sinks because it is not able to displace enough water to generate an upward buoyant force greater than its own weight. Therefore, the relative buoyant forces are different, resulting in the ship floating and the ball bearing sinking.
If a ball bearing displaces 82 ml of water what is its volume?
82 cubic cm 1 ml is equa to 82 cubic cm 82 ml=82 cm3
Will an object weighing 85 grams sink or float?
It is not just the weight matter in floatation or sinking.The shape,surface area or the base liquid that matters.For eg. a very flat sheat of iron weighing 85gm will float in water but a bead(ball )of iron weighing 85gm will sink.On the other hand an iron bead of 85gm will float in mercury.

How does a Soccer ball have buoyancy?
A soccer ball is buoyant because its weight is less than the weight of the water it displaces.
How would you find the volume of a golf ball?
Put an exact amount of water in a measuring cup. Drop in a golf ball. The increase in water level equals the volume of the golf ball, assuming the ball doesn't float. For example, 200mL before ball. 280ml after ball dropped in. Therefore volume equals 40ml or 40 Cubic Centimeters.

When will a ball filling with water sink?
The ball will sink when the weight of the water inside the ball plus the weight of the ball is greater than the weight of the amount of water that would fit inside the ball.
Does things made of ceramic float or sink in water?
depends on what it is...and how much water...but ceramic is pretty much like the equivalent of glass when it comes to floating in water...probably more heavier though Yes and no. If you set a solid ball of ceramic in water, it will sink. If you take the same amount of ceramic and make as large a hollow ball with it as you can, and THEN set it in water, it will float. Anything floats if its weight is less than the weight of the amount of water it displaces. That's why very large ships can be made of steel.

Even though a bowling ball weighs less than a metal-hull ship a bowling ball in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?
The water that the hull in ship displaces is way more heavier than the hull itself, so the water surface holds the ship floating... If you had a bowling ball made of hull-material it would sink anyway.. What it does that the ship floats is the amount of displaced water, which in weight is going to be higher than the floating object's weight itself...
How can a ship float if it is more dense than water?
A ship can float because shape allows more surface area in the water allowing it to displace more water, when an object (the ship in this case) displaces more water than its weight it floats, if it displaces less water it sinks (a rock for example). a good example of this is say you are at the pool when you lay flat on your back in the water you float however if you tuck into a ball you begin to sink.
Why does it get more difficult to push a beach ball underwater as you go deeper?
It's harder to push a beach ball underwater because it displaces more water than it weighs. (Gravitational Force is less than Buoyant Force)
Weight of ball?
The weight of a ball really depends on the ball you are weighing. Baseballs weigh more than ping-pong balls for example.
