How do you float on water?
When you float in water gravity has an even amount on top of you and on the bottom, also onto upthrust is pulling you up so you do not drown.______________Here's the answer... Don't be dense. No, no I don't mean it that way. Density is the amount of matter in a given volume of a thing. A cubic inch of lead contains more matter-- it's more massive-- than a cubic inch of balsa wood. The lead will sink in water; the balsa will float. Say that you have equal masses of lead and balsa wood. You can see that you would have a much larger volume of balsa wood than lead. The lead will still sink, and the balsa will still float. So density is the relationship between the amount of matter in a thing, and how much space that matter takes up.Think of a balloon filled with pool water, and then released into the pool. We can disregard the material the balloon is made of. It's easy to see that the balloon won't float. You are just taking a small volume of water and isolating it. In fact, you could push the balloon down toward the bottom of the pool and it will not readily float upward. It will tend to follow the currents in the pool, and it might even tend to sink to the bottom. Now take a balloon filled with air (not helium). This balloon will float and will hardly make a dent in the water. But you would have trouble getting it to stay below the surface without some kind of restraint. The water-filled balloon is almost perfectly buoyant (it has the same density, or specific gravity, as the water-- except for the small amount of material the balloon is made of). The air-filled balloon is MUCH less dense than water.Human bodies are less dense than water. That's why they float. Muscle mass is more dense than body fat. A slim and well-muscled individual can easily swim down to get the water-filled balloon and can stay down easily. If such a person exhales as much as possible, she/he might even sink, or be able to lay on the bottom for a few moments. A person with more body fat may even have trouble submerging. The difference is density.Anything, including people, will only float in water when it displaces more than its weight in water. This means if something weighs ten grams, it has to have enough surface area to push ten grams of water out of its way, if it cannot achieve this it will sink, if it can push more water than its weight it will float. Humans are full of fat and oxygen (the lungs) so mostly we displace more water than our weight, though if you breath fully out you will sink.
