The paper clip is more dense than the water, and it will sink. Water does not have sufficient buoyancy to support it. As regards density, the metal in the paperclip has more mass per unit of volume than the water does.

Explain how you would find the volume of an object such as a paper clip?
The easiest way to find the volume of irregular objects is to use water displacement Fill a beaker or other container with water and place the paper clip in the water. The amount the water level rises is the volume of the paper clip. Of course because a paper clip is so small you would either need to use highly accurate measuring devices or place enough paperclips in the water that there is a noticeable change in water level. you would then divide the change in water level by the number of paperclips you put in to get the average volume of a single paper clip.
How come you can lift a paper clip with a magnet without touching it?
magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...
Measurements for a stretched out paper clip?
An regular size paper clip streaches out to four and a half inches.
Volume of a paper clip?
Think of a paper clip as a cylinder that has been bent into a specific shape. Determine the volume of the cylinder, and you have the volume of the paper clip. So, the area of the end of the cylinder x length of the cylinder = volume of the paper clip.
Paper clip and paper towel trick?
it is your face! in other words ugly
What happens when you put paper clip into water?
no. because they are solid metal.
Explain how a paper clip can float in water?
Fill your container with water. Take a tissue, and rip it until you have maybe the size of half a dollar bill. Place the paper clip on the floating tissue. Poke the tissue with a pencil (not the paper clip), and when the tissue floats to the bottom, the paper clip will still be there.
What symbol denotes an email attachment?
Depending on the email program, usually it is a paper clip. Also, it shows at the bottom of the email.
Does a paperclip float in water?
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
Is a paper clip less dense than water?
Put it in water and see what happens?
What liquids will make a paper clip rust?

How many paper clip can the surface hold?
when I did it I got up to 31 but had no more room in my bowl
Will a paper clip float on soap water?
Yes
What is the hypothesis of make a paper clip float?
Distribution of the clip's mass and water's surface tension.

Why do paper clip?
Because they are heavier than water and have no air in them
Why does a paperclip float?
Items needed.a tissue paper (half the size of a dollar bill)a paper clipa bowl full of waterpencil with erasermethod.1.Fill the bowl with waterTry to make the paper clip float...not much luck, huh?Tear a piece of tissue paper about half the size of a dollar billGENTLY drop the tissue flat onto the surface of the waterGENTLY place a dry paper clip flat onto the tissue (try not to touch the water or the tissue)Use the eraser end of the pencil to carefully poke the tissue (not the paper clip) until the tissue sinks. With some luck, the tissue will sink and leave the paper clip floating!how is it possible?How is this possible? With a little thing we scientists call SURFACE TENSION. Basically it means that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water where the water molecules hold on tight together. If the conditions are right, they can hold tight enough to support your paper clip. The paperclip is not truly floating, it is being held up by the surface tension. Many insects, such as water striders, use this "skin" to walk across the surface of a stream.
