Can a nail float in water?
The nail sinks in water because the gravitational force attracts it downward toward the earth, there is an upthrust of water on the nail which pushes it upwards but, the downward force acting on the nail is greater that the upward force. Hence, the nail sinks in water. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks. The cork floats while nail sinks this happens because of the difference in their densities. The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The density of the cork is less than the density of water. This mean the upthrust of the cork is greater than the weight of the cork. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks.
