Doesn't it depend on how much you have of each?
Answer:
Steel has a higher density than water. Equal volumes of water and steel will not have the same mass, steel will have a much greater mass.

∙ 13y agoSilver, with a sp.gr. of 10.5, is considerably more dense than steel with an approximate sp.gr. of 7.8 (I say approximate because steel is not a pure substance, but is a mixture of iron and various other substances that vary depending on the properties desired. This has a sight effect on the actual density of the final pproduct.)

∙ 12y agoSince steel contains carbon atoms interlocked within the latticework of the iron atoms, steel would be more dense than iron.

Why is wood denser than water?
Most types of wood are not denser than water--they float in/on water. For the wood types that are denser than water, the explanation is that they contain molecules that are denser than water (e.g. resin) and the average distance between molecules is smaller.

Why would the desk float if you threw a key and a wooden desk into a lake?
the key is denser than the water the water is denser than the desk
Why are force meter readings lower in water than in air?
Air is less denser than water is why the force meter readings lower in water. A force meter is a piece of equipment that is used to measure the different forces of the universe.
How can a ship float on the ocean if it ways like a ton or more?
The shape of the ship allows it to float. Imagine a ship that was just a big block of steel, If you put that steel block into water, it would sink because it is denser than water. Ships are built with a hollow shape. The amount of steel is the same, but the hollow shape decreases the boat's density. Water is denser than the hollow boat, so the boat floats. Shaping the block into a hollow form increases the volume occupied by the same mass, which results in a reduced overall density. The ship floats because it is less dense than water.
Why does steel ball sink in water?
iron is much denser than water. So, steel is denser, too, because it is made from iron.
What is the orgin of the word stretch?
A needle is made of steel ; as steel is denser than water, a steel needle should sink in water because of this.
Why is stainless steel denser than water?
Because the molecules of the substances that make up steel are packed more tightly that are water molecules.
How ship floats on water surface?
The density of the VOLUME of the ship is less than the density of the water it displaces (pushes out of the way). While the steel of a steel hulled ship is denser than water, the steel plus the air enclosed by the steel is less dense.
Why a large boat is able to float considering that steel is denser than water?
caz it has less dens
Why is steel more dence than water?
Steel is more dense than water because it is made mostly of iron, and iron is much denser than water. The density of iron is 7.874g/cm3, while water's density is 1g/cm3.
Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
What is denser water or vinegar?
Vinegar is denser than water because vinegar is made of different substances that are denser than water, so that means vinegar is a little denser than water.
Is obsidian denser than water?
Yes. Obsidian is denser than water.
What will happen to a solid made from matter with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
The answer depends on the shape of the object. Ships, made from steel, which is denser than water, do float!
