Why can a sewing needle can float on the surface water in a glass?
Yes if the surface tension of the water is not broken. If you are careful you can place a needle on the surface of the water in a glass. Also if you reduce the surface tension with detergent (just a very little is enough) the needle will sink because it's density is greater than that of the water. NO (if the surface tension of the water is broken, a needle cannot float on the surface of water. This is because the needle has higher density than water (density is mass divided by volume).

If you lay a steel needle horizontally on water it will float if you place the needle vertically into the water it will sink explain why?
Needle floats if u place it on the surface of the water even its density is heavier than water because there is a thin film on the water surface that is stretched towards the sides of the container because of the collision force of the molecules & this is called suface tension when u plae the needle vertically it tears the film therefore it sinks
