A rock mass or mountain peak shaped like a needle is known as a spire or pinnacle. These features are tall, thin, and often have a pointed or jagged top, similar in appearance to a needle. Spire formations are commonly found in mountainous regions and can be formed through erosion or volcanic activity.

typing 'peak shaped like a needle' into Google brings up this question as first hit, then the answer is in the second hit - which is aiguille
The removal of cells in fluid or tissue from a mass or cyst using a needle for microscopic examination and diagnosis
A millinewton. NOT a gram, which a measure of mass, not of weight.
Mass per surface area. A needle has a very small surface area thereby it can't displace its mass in water very well, while a ship has a very large surface area allowing it to push on a large volume of water to support its mass. A needle is like a sharp knife and a ship is like a very dull knife. By the way if you are very careful while placing you can get a needle to float on water.
Yes if the surface tension of the water is not broken. If you are careful you can place a needle on the surface of the water in a glass. Also if you reduce the surface tension with detergent (just a very little is enough) the needle will sink because it's density is greater than that of the water. NO (if the surface tension of the water is broken, a needle cannot float on the surface of water. This is because the needle has higher density than water (density is mass divided by volume).
The density of a material is determined by the mass of its particles and how closely packed they are. In the case of a needle, its particles are closely packed together, leading to a higher density compared to water, which has particles that are more spread out. This difference in packing arrangement causes the needle to have a higher density than water.
A hypotonic needle is a needle that is a non coring needle. A hypertonic needle is a coring needle. Both of these needles are used in IV's with a hypotonic needle used for hypotonic solutions.
Normally the water - to float and object has to displace a volume of water equal to its mass. If its density is greater than that of water, the maximum mass of water it can displace is its own volume which, as the water is less dense that it, will have less mass than the object and it will sink. However, for small light objects the surface tension of water comes into play - it is possible to float a steel sewing needle (with a density greater than water) on water by gently dropping a clean needle on its side onto the water surface so that it does not break the surface tension. With a needle floating, adding a few drops of washing up liquid to the surface reduces the surface tension and the needle will then sink.
