Aluminium will always float in Mercury. The mass of the Aluminium is irrelevent. If you think of a more common example does it matter how big the piece of wood is as to whether it floats in water? Aluminium floats in Mercury because it is lighter than the same voluime of Mercury just as wood floats on water because it is lighter than same volume of water.
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Lead will sink in liquid mercury because lead is denser than mercury. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal, so most metals will sink when placed in it.
No, wood would not float in mercury. Mercury is a dense liquid metal, much denser than water, so wood would sink in it.
Sink
Aluminum powder will sink in water because it is denser than water.
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
No, mercury is denser than ethanol, so it will sink and not float.
A block of aluminum will float on a pool of mercury at nearly any temperature (except at extremely elevated temperatures (above 350 °C) where mercury is no longer liquid) The density of aluminum is 2.70 grams per cm3, whereas the density of mercury is 13.53 grams per cm3. Therefore mercury is more than 5 time more dense than aluminum! Anything that is less dense than a liquid will float in that liquid. Not only would aluminum float but it float with only 1/5 of it's volume submerged.
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Solid iron will float in liquid mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
Oil is denser than cork, so the cork would float.
Cork floats on mercury due to its low density compared to mercury. Mercury has a very high density, so most materials, including metals, will sink in it. Cork, being less dense, will float on the surface of mercury.
The 1-kg block of wood will float on water, while the 1-kg block of aluminum will sink. This is because wood is less dense than water and has a greater buoyant force acting on it, causing it to float. Aluminum is denser than water and will sink when placed in water.
Answer #1: float.==========================Answer #2:The density of aluminum is 2.7 gm/cm3.So, just like steel, if you shape a piece of it just right so that it displacesenough water, you can make it float. But a lump of it will sink in water.
Lead will sink in liquid mercury because lead is denser than mercury. Mercury is a heavy liquid metal, so most metals will sink when placed in it.
