A paper clip would float not sink. The only stuff that would sink would be the heavy stuff like a TV.
thanks 4 the answer bro
well the scientific way would be if the density of the object is greater than 1g/ml it will sink, if it less than 1g/ml it will float.

Why did the paper clip fall to the bottom of a bowl of water?
The paper clip is more dense than the water, and it will sink. Water does not have sufficient buoyancy to support it. As regards density, the metal in the paperclip has more mass per unit of volume than the water does.

Will paper float or sink in water?
Dry paper is less dense than water and will float. But paper is absorbent: when in contact with water, it will start to absorb water into its fibers. This increases the density, so eventually it becomes saturated and sinks. Paper boats can be made, where only a small portion of the sheet is touching the water, slowing the absorption rate and allowing it to float much longer.
How many paper clips will float in a cup of water?
It will be very depending on the glass size. You may float 100 paper clips on the sink.
Does a paper clip sink or float?
It depends on the material with which the clip is made. If is made up of plastic it would float and if it is made up of metal then it would sink. Also the way in which we place the clip would decide whether it would float or sink. If we place even a metallic clip on the surface of water without disturbing the surface then it would float. It is due to the surface tension property of the liquid.

Why did the paper clip not float on the ethanol?
A paper clip does not float on ethanol because the surface tension of ethanol is not enough to support the weight of the paper clip. Evelyn Biologist
