Why does a sphere made of steal float when put in water?
A steel sphere will float in water if its density is less than that of water. This means the weight of the sphere pushing down is less than the weight of the water it displaces, creating a buoyant force that keeps it afloat.
Is steel lighter when in the water?
No, steel is not lighter when in water. Steel is denser than water, so it will sink in water rather than float. The weight of the steel displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, making it sink.
What is the weight in pounds of water in a sphere having a diameter of 1 yard?
The sphere's volume is 0.5236 cubic yards. This volume contains 105.8 gallons of water. Since one gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds, the total weight would be about 882.4 pounds.
A sphere made of steel is put in water and surprisingly floats Develop a possible explanation for this observation?
The question you asked is from the 8th grade California Physical Science textbook pg 446 #19. You are one retard for not knowing the answer. Go f**k yourself. You don't deserve to pass this class. Go die in a hole.
Why does a rock sink when dropped in a lake?
Answer 1Because the density of the rock is greater than the density of the water, and the shape of the rock allows it to submerge before it has a chance to displace its weight in water. A sphere of steel will obviously sink in liquid water, but the same amount of steel could be shaped into an object that will float.rttrcf qbuisgbxi75te65r4g hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
How does a steel boat float in water?
A steel boat floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the weight of the boat itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The steel hull of the boat is designed to displace enough water to support its weight and keep it from sinking.
Why a ball made of steel sinks in water while a boat made of steel easily sails in water?
according to Archemidies principle ,"when a body is dipped in water its weight is reduced , this reduction in weight s eqivalent to the volume of water which replaced by the body." when a steel ball dropped in water the weight of replaced water by the ball is less than weight of the ball , so the ball sinks. But in the same condition the volume of water replaced by the boat is more wieghy in comparision to the weigh of boat , hence it floats. The term for this is Bouyance. It also explains why a Dirigible(Zeppelin) airship floats in the air. The Volume of Dirigible weighs less than the Air it displaces. Believe it or not, the same is true for Steel Ships. What I find hard to fathom is how a Ship full of heavy crude Oil floats?
Is a sphere of empty vacuum more buoyant in water than an equal size sphere of air?
When fully submerged on earth, yes. The net buoyancy force will be equal to the weight of the water displaced minus the weight of the object doing the displacing. Because the volume of water displaced by the water will be the same, and presumably have the same weight when the objects are both fully submerged, and the sphere of empty vacuum weighs less than the sphere of air, there will be a greater net upward buoyancy force on each object on earth.
Why does a steel cube sink in water?
A steel cube sinks in water because steel is denser than water, meaning it displaces less water when submerged. The weight of the steel cube is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink.
Why do steel ships float on water if steel is denser than water?
Steel ships float on water because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, causing the ship to float. The shape of the ship also plays a role in its ability to displace water and stay afloat.
Does steel cans float?
No, steel cans do not float because steel is denser than water. This means that the weight of the steel can is greater than the buoyant force acting against it, causing it to sink in water.
How does a steel ship float in water?
A steel ship floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat. The shape of the ship's hull also helps distribute the weight evenly, helping it to float.
