Water is dense at about eight pounds a gallon. A brick is more dense and will sink. The weight of the water in the space taken up by the water that it displaces is less than the weight of the brick taking up that space so it drops to the bottom.
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.
object that sink in water
yes metal sink in water
Pumice stone does not sink in water
No- a brick sinks.
Because an object has to displace an equivalent volume to be able to sink. Say you dropped a brick into a bucket of water, brick and water cannot occupy the same space at the same time so for the brick to sink it has to "displace" or move a volume of water equal to the size of the brick. That's why when you get in the bath the water level rises - you have displaced a volume of water equal to the size of your body.

it erodes the brick leaving small holes in the brick how does water cause weathering of a brick?
Maple syrup will sink but water is unable to sink because it is water.
the water sink is not solid and liquid
