Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
What is better for vibration cast iron or mild steel?
Typically mild steel can withstand vibration better because it has a higher density than the more brittle cast iron but cast iron may be better at absorbing vibrations than mild steel, due to its lower density.
Why is steel denser then iron?
Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.
Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.

Which has a higher density iron or silicon?
Iron is more dense than silicon.
What is heavier metal iron or aluminium?
Iron has a higher density than aluminum
An example of a density higher than 1?
Water has a density of 1 - therefore anything that sinks in water (e.g. iron with a density of 7.874) has a density higher than 1 and anything that floats in water has density less than 1.
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
Why has iron a higher density than wood?
Because, molicules of iron are compiled together and the molecules of would have distance in them.
Why is it that with aluminum copper and iron the modulus of elasticity is higher for crystallographic directions with higher linear density?
I meant lower linear density, but I can't change it. So for example for Aluminum the Linear density of [111] is lower than for [110] and that is again lower than [100]. But you notice that the modulus of elasticity is higher for [111] than for [110] and that again is higher than for [100]
Why wood floats on water?
the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.

Is the density of copper more than iron?
Copper has a density of 8.9 g/cm3 while iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. Therefore copper is denser than iron.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
