Can a solid ball of steel float in salt water?
yes =============== Another opinion: No. Depending on its exact composition, the density of any steel is somewhere between 7.48 to 8.0 times the density of water. Anything whose aggregate density is greater than that of water sinks in it.
Why does a steel ball sink in water but a toy ship made of steel floats?
Density of a steel ball is greater than the den. Of h2o - it sinks similarly den. Of a toy ship is less than the den. Of h2o - it floats
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.
Will a steel ball float in mercury if it's heated?
No, a steel ball will not float in mercury, even if it is heated. Mercury is much denser than steel, so the steel ball will sink in mercury regardless of its temperature.
When will a ball filling with water sink?
The ball will sink when the weight of the water inside the ball plus the weight of the ball is greater than the weight of the amount of water that would fit inside the ball.
Is a ball bearing magnetic will they float or sink?
Ball bearings are typically made of steel, which is not a magnetic material. They will sink in water and not float because their density is higher than that of water. If exposed to a strong magnetic field, ball bearings made of magnetic materials like iron may be attracted to the magnet.
Inwater a steel will float or sink?
It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
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 will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
Why ball can't bounce on water?
A steel ball sinks in water because weight of water displaced by a steel ball is larger than the body of water.
Does steel pin float on saline water?
No, steel is denser than saline water, so a steel pin would sink in saline water.
What is the orgin of the word stretch?
A needle is made of steel ; as steel is denser than water, a steel needle should sink in water because of this.
