UNITS!!!! We need units to answer this question.
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
float
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
That would be Saturn, since it lacks in density it would be light enough to float in an ocean big enough for it.
The density is not directly relevant. Otherwise, ship made of steel would not float on water.
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Float - The density of water is 1.0, anything with a density less than this will float in water.
Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).
The density of the wood would not be affected by being placed in water. However, the wood itself, with a density of about 0.77 gm/cm3 , would float.
Yes it would float
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³ and the density of water is 1 g/cm.If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
No, the density of Uranus is 1.27 g/cm3 (the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3), therefore Uranus would sink. The planet that would float in water is the planet Saturn which has a density of 0.687 g/cm3.
Saturn's density is so low that it can even float on water, it has the less density in all solar objects.
The density of chloroform, CHCl3, is 1.483 g/cm3 so it would sink and water would float. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3. The solubility of chloroform is less than 1.0 g/ 100 mL
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
