What makes a needle to float in water?

Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.


How many paper clips can a hair hold?

Why don't you try it yourself? ;)


Do liquids that have higher tension produce drops that are flatter or more nearly sperical ttan liquids with lowersurface tension?

Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.


Used to hold a slide in place on the stage?

stage clips, im doing the same paper right now :]me too.


Why does a paperclip float?

Items needed.a tissue paper (half the size of a dollar bill)a paper clipa bowl full of waterpencil with erasermethod.1.Fill the bowl with waterTry to make the paper clip float...not much luck, huh?Tear a piece of tissue paper about half the size of a dollar billGENTLY drop the tissue flat onto the surface of the waterGENTLY place a dry paper clip flat onto the tissue (try not to touch the water or the tissue)Use the eraser end of the pencil to carefully poke the tissue (not the paper clip) until the tissue sinks. With some luck, the tissue will sink and leave the paper clip floating!how is it possible?How is this possible? With a little thing we scientists call SURFACE TENSION. Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension. Many insects, such as water striders, use this "skin" to walk across the surface of a stream.

How surface tension behaves?

for example, if drops of water are placed on the top of a penny, the surface tension is going to hold the drops on top of the penny. when the penny can hold no more, it will all overflow. make sense?


Does a paperclip float in water?

Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.

What is the fromula of surface tension?

The surface tension doesn't have any formula,it's just a property on surface of liquid to hold out an external force. However it's dimensional formula is [MT-2], with its standard unit as Nm-1 .

Can you make a homemade diaper?

yes you can all you have to do is get a soft shirt paper clips tissue and that's it then you have to get the shirt put the soft tissue in the shirt then to make it hold up put the bpaper clips at the end of the shirt put it on the baby then get some more paper clips to make the diaper stay!


How does a paper hold back water?

If you are referring to the old trick where you put a piece of paper over a glass and turn it upside down, the answer is water tension.
