the higher pressure at lower depths compresses our body in contrast to a rock which cannot be compressed. So, our density increases as the depth increases

density is amount of mass per cubic area. water cannot change that, though it will make your weight change a little while you are underwater.

Density is defined as (mass) divided by (volume).

Being in water doesn't change your mass or your volume, so your density doesn't change.

What is submerged density of soil?

The unit weight of submerged soil: Submerged Density (kN/m3) = Saturated Density - Water Density Water Density = 9.81 kN/m3


The density of a submerged submarine is about the same as the density of?

The dnsity of a submerged submarine is the same as the density of the water if the density of the submarine was grater it will sink, if the density was less it would float.


How much more does an object weigh after it has been submerged out of water?

Submerged "out-of-water". That is not possible. It is either submerged or it is out of water. Even when an object is submerger or partically submerged it will not weigh less. The physical characteristics (weight) of the object cannot be changed. The object, when placed in water will displace a certain amount of water and the object will float if the weight of the displaced water is more that the weight of the object. The object will then sink if it weighted more that the weight of the water it displaces. That said, the actual weight of the object doesnt change but if a scale were attached to it while hanging in air, it would read greater that when the object is floating or submerged in water.


How do you find density of irregular shape?

Measure the displacement of water when the object is submerged in water. This gives the volume ; then weigh the object and divide the weight by the volume to get the density.

What property of an object determines the strength of buoyant force that will be exerted on it when submerged in water?

Density - esp relative to water.


What is the density of thing if does not seettle in water?

The density of a solid not completely submerged in water is less than 1 gram per milliliter, the density of water. Only the volume of the submerged portion will displace the water and the portion on floating above the level of water cannot be measured.


A 6 kg piece of metal displaces 1 liter of water when submerged what is its density?

If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.


Does a weighted air filled balloon with the same density as water float or sink?

Neither, it just stays submerged, provided its density stays the same as the water around.


What conditions must be met in terms of density of a body for it to float submerged in water?

A body whose total density is greater than that of water will sink in water;that is, if it's not supported, it will continuously drift lower.A body whose total density is less than that of water will float in water; that is,it will sink only partially, and will then remain on the surface and sink no lower.A body whose total density is exactly equal to that of water will have "neutral buoyancy",and will "float submerged" so to speak. That is, none of it will remain above the surface,but once submerged, it will neither rise nor sink further, but will maintain the depth at whichit is placed.


Why wood swims on water?

Wood has a lower density than water, and thus the upward buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the weight of the wood submerged. The density of wood less than water, all things are less than water density can float on the water
