How do you make metal float but not on water?
I can make a iron nail float. Simply melt some lead and the iron will float on top of the lead. Your question seems to be with regard to how do Boats float and the answer is Bouyancy. The Boat displaces a volume of water and if the weight of the displaced water is less than the weight of the boat, the boat will float.
Why can metal float?
For something to float, it must displace the same amount of water as it weighs. Answer:To float in water, a solid metal object must be lighter than the water equivalent to its volume. This would make lithium (at S.G. 0.53) the only metal that would float in water.Objects which are hollow and made of metal float because the contained volume of the object divided by the weight of the object is less than 1 gm/cm3, the density of water. Solid metal objects can float in liquids which have a density greater than they exhbit thesmelves. As an example, almost all metals will float in mercury

Can any kind of metal float?
Yes, provided you have the metal in a solid form which can be shaped so it will float, and a substance which it is liquid enough to float in at that temperature.
Would a large metal ship float in the same volume of fresh water?
Metal ships are built to float.
How can you make a piece of iron metal float?
if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.
Does a sword float?
No, for a sword is made of metal and metal is heavier than water.
Caesium sink or float?
Cesium metal will float on water as its density is lower than that of water, causing it to float.
Will lithium sink or float?
it will float, with it being a soft metal, try it for yourself
How do you make a chocolate sink or float?
How can you make a chocolate float or sink
What make stuff sink and float?
what make stuff sink or and float
Data on making metal float?
You must displace as much water at the metal weighs. So there is equillibrium between the metal and the water.
