That depends on how much gargo it's carrying. But
if it's floating, then its density is less than 1.0 .

Does iron have low density?
No, the density of iron is fairly high.
What is the density of iron ore?
The density of iron ore is variable. Iron ore refers to a rocktype that contains iron minerals. The type and concentration of the iron minerals as well the type and concentration of non-iron minerals determines the density of the iron ore. Typical high grade iron ore is approximately 65% hematite and 35% other (commonly silicate). The density of hematite is approximately 5 g/cc and a general density for crustal rocks (silicates) is approximately 2.67 g/cc. Therefore iron ore that is 65% hematite and 35% silicate would have a density of approximately 4 g/cc.
What is the density of a iron nail?
Iron has a density of approximately 7.86g/cm3. Nails are not usually made from pure iron, but from soft steel, a mixture of iron and carbon. The density, however, is pretty much the same depending on the grade of steel used.
Why does same sized piece of wood is lighter than iron piece?
The wood is "lighter" (weighs less; has less mass) than the iron because of it's density. Iron has a greater density than wood, and density is defined as mass/volume, so having the same volume (size), the iron will have a greater mass.
How does a heavy boat floats on water?
They have strong wood, and are mechanical crates to lift them aboard.
Why can an iron boat float but an iron cube can not?
The iron boat is an "empty shell" with air filled space inside, reducing its density compared to the iron cube which is iron all the way through.
What is the density of galvanize iron?
The density of Galvanized Iron is 7850 kg/m3. Density of steel is equal to the density of galvanized iron
Does iron have low density?
No, the density of iron is fairly high.
Which has a higher density iron or silicon?
Iron is more dense than silicon.
What is the density of your average boat?
That question has no answer, because I don't own a boat. But regarding any boat in general, if the boat is afloat, then its density is less than 1.0 .
Which has the greater density a kilogram of feathers of kilogram of iron?
Iron has a greater density.
Is the density of an iron nail different thanthat of an iron gate?
if they are both made of iron and no other impurities the density is the same
Is the density of cotton more than density of iron?
No, cotton has a density of 1.54-1.56 g/cm³ while iron has a density of 7.874 g/cm³
Why do boats with water sink?
When the density of entire assembly (boat, peoples, products, equipments, water etc.) has a density greater then the water density the boat is sinking.
Is the density of copper more than iron?
Copper has a density of 8.9 g/cm3 while iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. Therefore copper is denser than iron.
Which has higher density iron or carbon or water?
Iron.
What part of the boat makes it float?
The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.
