Why does an iron ball sink and not an iron ship?
as relative density is directyy proportional to on surface area.... the iron ship being vast & having a huge surface area is able to float... whereas an iron ball being heavy & with less surface area sinks away..!
Does a lump of iron float?
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Why iron floats on water?
Iron doesn't float. To float it has to be lighter than water. It is heavier.
Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?
Yes it would float
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
Why do iron ship flow on water?
because it is designed in such a way for the ship to float on water
What makes iron ships float?
The structure of an iron ship is such that its density is less than that of water. Anything with a density less than water will float in water.
Can metal ships float?
It depends. A steel ship will float just fine, so will an iron one(i.e. Old Ironsides). It all depends on the size, weight, and buoyancy of the ship.
Does the element Iron float or sink in water?
yes iron does float in water yes iron does float in water

Can iron float in any liquid?
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Does iron float in oil?
Iron will float in oil in most cases. However, for iron to float in oil, it must have a density which is lower than the oil.
Which metal floats in water?
Sodium. Iron will float if it is a hollow structure according to Archimedes Principle that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water/fluid equal to the weight of the object. A ship will displace an amount of water equal to the weight of the ship, cargo and passengers combined.
