Would Blocks sink or float?
Wooden blocks will (usually) float. Concrete blocks sink.
How do concrete boats float?
This all depends on buoyancy of the liquid the boat is in, and the density (therefore the mass and volume) of the concrete boat.
What wood can float?
Almost every type of wood will float. There are a few very dense and rare woods found in the tropics that will not float. And if formed properly, pretty much anything can be made to float including stone and concrete.
Can light things float on water?
If it has enough surface area such as a leaf or bigger yes so long as it lands on the water in such a way it traps a little air under it, note..even concrete can float, many septic tanks are made of concrete and will float in only about a foot of water if you dont remember to fill them with water before it rains
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
If eggs acan float in flour water why cant they float in concrete?
because is concrete and it frikin hardens dumb aasss
Can a concrete boat float?
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
How big can a floating concrete slab be?
no matter how big the concrete slab is, it will never float
Is it possible for a boat made of concrete to float?
yes a boat made of concrete is possible to float if it displaces water that weight more than its own weight.
Would Blocks sink or float?
Wooden blocks will (usually) float. Concrete blocks sink.
Do railroad ties float?
Railroad cross ties made out of wood would float. Concrete railroad ties would not float.
What is a wooden float?
A Wooden float is the flat surfaced tool that is used for smoothing the surface of concrete prior to it setting. A wooden float produces a reasonably non slip surface as it pulls up sand out of the concrete mix to the surface.
Can a ship be constructed of concrete and still float?
Yes. Many drydocks and salvage ships are made of concrete.
Why does a concrete canoe float but a concrete block sink?
The block isn't aerodynamic, so it sinks. The boat, no matter what it's constructed with, will be able to float if it's in a shape that will be aerodynamic in water.
Can a plactic boat float?
Yes, they even build boats out of concrete!
How do concrete boats float?
This all depends on buoyancy of the liquid the boat is in, and the density (therefore the mass and volume) of the concrete boat.
Why do objects float better in salt water then in normal water?
Because saltwater has a higher density. It's like if you were to try to float a rock in water and then in wet concrete, it will stay afloat on the concrete because it is more dense.
