Example of things that sink in water?
Lead weight, a stone, the list is endless.
Can lead weights sink or float?
It depends upon its shape. A solid brick of lead will sink. A lead weight pressed into the shape of a bowl will float, because it displaces more water, and is therefore buoyant enough to float.
What will happen to lead when it is dropped into water?
It will sink
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.
Why things sink into water any why not?
An object will sink if it has a greater density than water. In this case, the weight of the water displaced by the object is less than the weight of the object.
Why do object flout or sink?

Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
Why does lead sink in water?
Lead sinks in water because the density of lead is greater than the density of water.The displacement of water needs to be equal to the weight of the object for it to float. Lead sinks because the displacement of lead is greater than the displacement of water.
Why would a ball filled with sand would sink in water?
The sand puts weight on it and it makes in sink.
