A solid block of steel would be more dense than a boat made of steel.
This is because even though the density of the material, steel, is constant, the form makes a difference to the overall density. The block of steel essentially contains nothing but steel, whereas the steel boat is "hollow" and contains air, as well as other construction materials such as wood.
What else can I help you with?
Will a block float in water?
It depends on the density of the block. If the block is less dense than water, it will float. If it is more dense, it will sink.
Which has more dense a steel or foam?
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.
Is cork more dense than steel?
No, steel is more dense than cork. Steel has a higher density because it contains more atoms packed closely together compared to cork.
Which is most dense Steel or Oxygen?
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.
Can you float a block of steel in water?
Not as long as it's still in the shape of a block. But if you re-shape it into the shape of a cup ... whether round or rectangular ... it will float, because it displaces much more water than a block does. If your cup-shape is done artistically and with care, people may call it what it looks like ... a little "boat" or "ship". Those objects are usually made out of re-shaped blocks of steel.
Why is steel more dense than water?
Water
Why steel more dense than water?
Water
Why is a block of iron more dense than a block of foam?
Because the molecules are more tightly packed.
Why a ball of steel sinks but boat made of steel floats?
The steel boat has more bouyancy because it is mostley filled with air as with the steel ball it is dence and heavy so it sinks
What can steel do?
Can you be more specific? If you are referring to steel as an element representing dense solids, it can do everything from construction to absolute destruction.
Which is more dense steel or water?
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.
How can a large block of wax float on water even though it is more dense?
If it's in a block shape and it's floating on water,then guaranteed it's less dense than water.
