Mercury would not float on water. This is because the density of Mercury (5427kg/m3) is greater than the density of water (1000kg/m3).

What mass can float in mercury?

Most materials will float in Mercury because it is so dense. A lump of Lead will float in a bath of Mercury. The well-known metals Gold, Platinum, Tungsten, Uranium and Plutonium are more dense than mercury and would sink. More specifically, any material having a density less than 13593 Kg/m3 will float in a bath of Mercury.


Why does the egg float in salt water?

Egg float in water because the mass of the water is less than the mass of the egg.


What makes us float?

We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.


How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?

An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

How egg float in salt water funfacts?

well an egg can float in salt water because of the mass and density of it makes it easier to float


Why does a egg float in slat water?

Because the mass of salt water displaced by the egg is equal to the mass of the egg (Archimedes' Principle). If the water were pure it would weigh less and maybe the egg would then sink because it could not displace its own mass of water.

How can a large ship float in water?

An object will float if its DENSITY (mass divided by volume) is less than water - or whatever liquid it is supposed to float on.
