What else can I help you with?
Is steel lighter when in the water?
No, steel is not lighter when in water. Steel is denser than water, so it will sink in water rather than float. The weight of the steel displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, making it sink.
Does helium float or sink?
Helium is light and it will float / rise.
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?

Will scoria float or sink in water?
Scoria is a type of volcanic rock that is typically denser than water, so it will sink in water.
Will the densiy of 93 ice will it sink or will it float?
Yes, it would actually float. While less liquids sink right to the bottom
Why does a thumbtack sink inwater?
Huh, can't you float a thumbtack in water? If it sinks, it means that the amount of water displaced weighs less than the tack.
Will diesel float or sink inwater?
Diesel will float on top of water because it has a lower density than water. This is due to the fact that diesel is less dense than water, which causes it to displace water and float on top.
Why would a solid steel marble sink and a steel bowl float in a bathtub of water?
it is hollow so it will float
Will a steel bar float in water?
No, a solid steel bar will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Only objects with a lower density than water will float.
Will a steel ball float in mercury if it's heated?

Will 7.81 g of steel float on water?
No, 7.81 g of steel will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Steel has a higher density than water, so it will not displace enough water to float.
Is steel lighter when in the water?
No, steel is not lighter when in water. Steel is denser than water, so it will sink in water rather than float. The weight of the steel displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, making it sink.
Does steel cans float?
No, steel cans do not float because steel is denser than water. This means that the weight of the steel can is greater than the buoyant force acting against it, causing it to sink in water.
Why does a ship made of steel float when steel is dense enough to sink in water?
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
Why do ships made of steel float instead of of sinking since steel is dencer than water?
I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.
Does steel pin float on saline water?
No, steel is denser than saline water, so a steel pin would sink in saline water.
Does steel float on Mercury?
Steel would sink in Mercury because the density of steel (7.85 g/cm^3) is higher than that of Mercury (13.6 g/cm^3). This means steel is denser than Mercury, so it would not float on it.
