97% will sink below the water
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
Smaller ones sink due to the weight of the rain.
A solid block of steel will sink because the buoyant force isn't the same as its weight.
Ferry's do not sink primarily because the density of a ferry is lower than that of water, of which the density is 1g/mL. Because there is alot of air in a ferry and distribution of wait a ferry will not sink. However, if a ferry were to collide with something or experience a situation which would alter it's density of distribution of weight, than the ferry may sink.
that depends, if you sink nothing over that much weight!!!!!!!!i don't know, 50 kilos?
the weight wont do much but if you add a stronger gas it will sink.
neglecting the weight of the steel drum and assuming a gallon weighs 8.2 pounds in Americian units, the calc would be 55 X 8.2 = 451 pounds. The extra weight of the steel drum would sink it from this nutral boyancy state. Also,55 gallon drums only hold 50 or so gallons.
7.48 gallon
stay away from such a kitchen sink they are expensive and fragile, the slightest bump or too much weight will crack the sink. its not worth the money. stay with stainless steel.
Ummm like how much weight it has
about 1.3 Gallon per Minute. Avg daily usage 10.9 Gallons.
Anything with weight and mass will sink in quicksand.
A U.S. gallon is 3.78 litres. Obviously then, when we are paying $1.00 per litre, the we are really paying $3.78/U.S. gallon. The Americans were panicing when they were paying these type of numbers. Why are Canadians paying so much??? Free Trade??? We have all the oil and gas for crying down the sink!!
lobster because it's weight isn't spread out as much so it will sink easier
it depends on the weight
The total volume you are trying to sink is 4608 cu inches or 75.5 liters. the displaced volume of water weighs 75.5 kilograms. In pounds that is 166.5 pounds. Therefor, the total weight needed to sink the styrofoam is 166.5 pounds INCLUDING the weight of the styrofoam.
