No, steel is more dense than cork. Steel has a higher density because it contains more atoms packed closely together compared to cork.
Er, Does Steel (by itself) Float when placed in water? (for purposes of this discussion, lets omit masses of steel less than that required to break the water's surface tension, and formulations/constructions of steel purposefully designed to not break the surface tension, both of which are probably possible) No, ergo steel is more dense in its "usual" formulations & construction.
Floating and sinking is related to density - if something is more dense (i.e. has more mass per volume) than the fluid it will sink, and if it is less dense then it will float. This is why wood floats in water, and helium balloons float in air - helium is less dense than air and wood is less dense than water. Steel ships float because, although they are made of steel which is more dense than water, the air inside them is less dense than water so the overall effect is floating.
Steel is more dense than water because it is made mostly of iron, and iron is much denser than water. The density of iron is 7.874g/cm3, while water's density is 1g/cm3.
Steel is more dense than oxygen. The density of steel is about 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter, whereas the density of oxygen is about 0.0013 grams per cubic centimeter.
no, oil is not more dense than water
Water is 784 times more dense than water.
Steel is more dense than foam. Steel is a metal with a higher mass per unit volume compared to foam, which is a lightweight, porous material.
Anything that sinks in water is more dense than water.
