Examples of solids that will float on water?
An example of a solid that floats on water is a needle, even though its density is greater than that of a water it still floats, this is because of Intermolecular Forces.Anything lighter (less dense) than water will float; this includes wood, some clothing, metal objects (like boats), provided they have enough air in between, etc.
What weight of cargo could a barge carry if it was 100ft long x 25 ft wide x 10 ft high and it was lowered 4 ft into the water?
The weight of the barge plus cargo will equal the weight of the water it displaces. If the barge sinks to a depth of 4' then the volume of barge under water is 4 x 25 x 100 = 10,000 cf. This will also be the volume of water displaced. Water weighs 62.4 lbs per cf so 10,000 cf weighs 624000 lbs. This will be the cargo weight plus the weight of the barge. No way to separate the two weights, but the barge weight is probably a small portion of the total.
Why does bark float in water?
it floats on water because bark contains air Bark floats in water because it is less dense than water.
Why do barges ride higher in the ocean than in the river?
Salt water is denser than fresh water. That means that a barge is more bouyant in salt water; therefore, it floats higher.

Which metal is light and float in water?
Usually aluminum floats because it is also quite light.
What is a barge pole?

Do cattail floats on water?
Yes. It floats on water
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
How does ice floats on water?
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
What particle floats freely in metal?
an electron.
