The cork will float on the surface of the water because cork is less dense than water. The cork displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight, allowing it to float. If the cork is pushed under water, it will pop back up due to its buoyant force.


Is it true if a magnet is floated in a cork in water?

Yes, a magnet can float on a cork in water because the cork provides buoyancy to keep the magnet afloat. The buoyant force of the water supports the weight of the cork and the magnet, allowing them to float together.
