It's a mathematical equation of buoyancy and mass displacement divided by actually weight.

Why Titanic ship sink not float?
The titanic did not float because it was only able to float if 4 or less water compartments flooded instead more did and it was to much for the titanic to hold and sadly many people died.
Why was Pennsylvania so big on steel in the 1800s?
Because there was so much coal and iron in the North and that is what you need to make steel

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.
Will silver float in Mercury?
Steel don't float on water because the density of steel is greater than the density of water.

Why do ships float even if they are made of a material more dense than water?
What matters when you consider the ability of something to float is the mass of water it can displace. This needs to be greater than the mass of the ship. A steel ship is not steel all the way through, a lot of the inside is air, so the effective density is much smaller than if it were all steel.
How much does pure steel cost?
There are many different types of steel. It would depend on the specifications of the steel.
What can float in the water?
Many things can float in water. An object will float based on 2 main factors. They are density and shape. If an object is too dense, it will sink. But why would shape matter? The shape of the object affects how the water is displaced. If the weight of the water displaced is more than the weight of the object that is touching the water, the object will float. So the shape affects how much water is displaced therefore determines if an object will float.

Do all people float?
Your body fat has a lot to do with how well you will float but basically people can and do float. I personally don't float very well but with air in my lungs and on my back I float easily. Basically, it's because we are more dense than water. By breathing in air, our density becomes less than that of water and we begin to float. This is how people can stay afloat and how people can drown.
How much steel did people use to make the London Olympic stadium?

How do people float in the red sea?
Yes, people can float in the Red Sea, because there is a large amount of salt in the Red Sea. Therefor, objects including people, have more buoyancy so we can float. If you do not know what buoyancy is, it is the ability to float
