Want this question answered?
A needle sink in water.
the way it float is surface tension!!
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
i think that vol of water underneath the needle when it is dropped on water parallely is more which prevents the needle from sinking.
It will float if placed carefully enough.
Yes it is not possible. Because as soap is added then surface tension would get reduced and so possibility of float becomes less. When we carefully place the same needle on ordinary water floating is quite possible as water has more surface tension
A needle sink in water.
A needle can be made to float on very still water.
The water extracted by the wood log while floating is of equal weight of the wood or more. For this reason, the log of wood floats while a steel needle sinks.
the way it float is surface tension!!
The needle does not break the surface tension (meniscus). Get a small piece of toilet tissue and lay it on a glass of water. lay a needle on the tissue. The tissue will become sodden and sink, leaving the needle floating on the surface tension. Put the smallest drop of washing-up liquid on the water. The surface tension will be destroyed and the needle will sink. Try it.
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
A supine float is floating in the water on your back with head above water.
The Kinds of floats those are the suicidal float..and etc.
Due to surface tension, the upper surface of water acts like a stretched membrane which enables it to float a swing needle.
A plant's adaptations for floating in water are floating leaves and finely dissected leaves. These plants can only grow in water or in soil that is always saturated with water.
i think that vol of water underneath the needle when it is dropped on water parallely is more which prevents the needle from sinking.
