If the cube's density measured by weight to volume exceeds the water density ratio of 1 kilogram to 1 litre approximately;

  • and no enormous amount of water tension can be caused to prevent displacement,
  • or no excessive amount of vessel creation is involved and causing buoyancy,

then it will sink.

So if you can't fill and contain enough water to exceed the water density ratio of its own weight it will sink.

(The temperature (residual energy) involved in the various parts of the system of action will alter the water and cube behavior).

Does tar float or sink?

It will float for a while than slowly sink because its density as a cube is Heavier than water (by the way waters density is 0.9-1.0 g and Tar is 1.02 g). I hereby conclude with all reasons that tar ( in a shape of a cube) will float then sink


A cube measuring 2cm on each side weights 5g will it sink or float?

Calculate its volume. Divide mass by volume to get its density. Compare that to the density of water - assuming you want to figure out whether it will float or sink in water.

Why does only light things float in salt water?

Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.
