Why doesn't a stone float?
The stone is heavier than the same volume of water. In short the density of the stone is more than the water. So the stone does not float on the water.
What wood can float?
Almost every type of wood will float. There are a few very dense and rare woods found in the tropics that will not float. And if formed properly, pretty much anything can be made to float including stone and concrete.
Can you make a stone float on water?
There are two ways:Hollow out the stone to the form of a boat so that has more displacement then weight.Use pumice, a light weight volcanic stone that has lots of air bubbles in its structure.
Why does wood float but stone sink?
First, the stone sinks because of the weight, the wood would probably be much lighter than the stone.Second, the density. The stone is much more dense than the wood
Why stone sink into water?
A stone is more dense and heavier than water, so it sinks. If you were to hollow out the top of the stone into a shape like a bowl, it would then be mostly filled with air, and might float. That is the same idea as with boats - even steel boats float if they are hollowed out to where they are light enough. I have even seen competitions to see who can build the best concrete boat.

Which stone never sunk in water?
the stone that never sunk in water is pumice. Because of its holes it can float easily across the water.
What stone can float on water?
Pumice stones will, these are low density rocks formed by volcanoes
How dense is a tiny stone?
That depends on the material of which the stone is composed. Some stones are so light that they will float in water e.g. pumice stone, while most others will sink in water.
