That depends on the object's density, not just on its volume. For example, the object you mention would float if it has a mass of less than about 3.7 gramms.

What will the density of any object be if they wanted that object to float in water?

The density of water is about 1000kg/m3 or 1g/cm3 (it varies slightly with temperature), so for something to float it would need to be less than that i.e when oil float on top of water it is because oil has a density of around 0.92g/cm3.


What must the density of an object be for it to float in water?

The density of an object must be less than the density of water (1 g/cm3) for it to float in water. This means that the object will displace an amount of water equal to its own weight, allowing it to float.


Would Uranus float in water?

No, the density of Uranus is 1.27 g/cm3 (the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3), therefore Uranus would sink. The planet that would float in water is the planet Saturn which has a density of 0.687 g/cm3.


If you had a object with a density of 1.12 gcm3 would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35 gmL why?

The object would float in the salt water. This is because the object's density (1.12 g/cm3) is less than the density of the salt water (1.35 g/mL), making it less dense than the surrounding medium and causing it to float.


What can float on water?

Any object with a density lower than 1 g/cm3.


An object has a density of 2gcmcubed will it sink or float?

It will sink. Water has a density of 1 gm/cm3.


Would chloroform float on water?

Chloroform is denser than water and would not float on its surface. Chloroform has a density of about 1.48 g/cm3, while water has a density of 1g/cm3. When added to water, chloroform would sink and form a separate layer at the bottom.


Will an object with the density of 3.7 float and why?

An object with a density of 3.7 g/cm3 will sink in water (density of 1 g/cm3) because its density is greater than that of water. Objects float when their density is less than the density of the fluid they are placed in.


Would a block with a mass of 23g that measures 3cm in all directions float or sink in water?

It depends on the shape. A solid sphere of any object with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/m3 would not float in water. Any object with a sufficiently large bowl shape would float regardless of density.


The density of water is equal to 10 gcm3 A substance with density equal to 09 gcm3 would in water?

The substance with a density of 0.9 g/cm3 would float on water, as its density is less than that of water (1 g/cm3). Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float on water, while those with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 will sink.


If you had an object with a density of 1.12gcm cubed would it sink or float in a container of salt water that has a density of 1.35gcm cubed?

Sinking or floating also depends on the density of the object


What is the true about an object that floats in water?

An object that floats in water is less dense than the water it displaces. This means that the weight of the water it displaces is greater than the weight of the object itself, causing it to float. Objects that float have a density less than 1 g/cm3.
