Best Answer

it depends on the sponge. different sponges have different masses, sizes, and different amounts of space bettween each atom. and because they are grown, we cant control exactly any of these factors. but my guess for the average cleaning sponge is about 4-6 times.

What will make a boat hold weight?

How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
