How can a large block of wax float on water even though it is more dense?

If it's in a block shape and it's floating on water,
then guaranteed it's less dense than water.

An object that does not sink in water?
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
Why do apples float?
Well, antyhing that is less dense than water will float in water. So knowing this we can assume that an apple is less dense than water.
How dense is Saturn compared to other planets?
Saturn is the only planet in our Solar System that is less dense than water. Saturn would float if there were a body of water large enough!♥♥
Can a concrete boat float?
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
How can large ships that are made of materials more dense than water float on top of water?
Witchcraft ================ (Ain't that always the way with the scientifically ignorant illiterati !)
If a substance has a large mass and a small volume what can you conclude about it?
The Chemist and the Physicist would agree that it has a high density.The rest of us would remark that it is a very dense substance.Examples are gold, lead, stone, and my wife's matzoh balls.
How dense is Saturn?
Saturn is the least dense of all the Planets. It has been said that if you could find a large enough bath - and water, Saturn would float. This is because Saturn's mean density is lower than water at 0.687 g/cm³
Which planet's fun fact is about a bathtub?
That's probably Saturn. It is less dense than water. So, Saturn would float in a very large bath of water, in theory.
When do density dependent factors opereate most strongly?
When a population is large and dense
What are the large sections of lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere?
The large sections of the lithosphere that float on the asthenosphere are called tectonic plates
What has greater mass a large block of plastic or a small block of the same size block plastic?
large block
which has the greater mass a large block of plastic or a small block of the same plastic?
Mass depends on how much of something there is, as well as how dense it is, AKA volume and density. Assuming these two blocks have the same density since they’re the same plastic, the bigger block would have more mass.
