Partially submerged object floats when?

A partially submerged object floats when the weight of the water it displaces is equal to its own weight, creating a balance that allows it to remain buoyant. This is known as Archimedes' principle. If the object's weight is greater than the weight of the water it displaces, it will sink, and if the object's weight is less, it will float completely above the water.


How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?

If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.

How do you calculate find the density of an object that floats?

If you can determine the volume fractions of the object that are above and below the water, then you can find the density of the object by multiplying the density of the fluid it floats in by the fraction of the volume that is below the surface of the liquid. Another, more complex way is to weigh the object alone then attach it to one arm of a balance to weigh the object when it is floating. As it floats it will displace an amount of liquid equal in weight to the total object. The decrease in weight will be proportional to the fraction of the object that is submerged. As an example: If an object weighed 100 grams out in the air but only required 20 grams to counterbalance its weight when it is floating, and the fluid it was floating in was water, then the density of the object would be (1 g/cubic centimeter)·(100-20)/100 = 0.8 g/cubic centimeter.

The earth's mantle.


Why does ice float above and under water?

Ice floats above water, as it has lesser density than that of water. Due to anomalous expansion of water, the ice (solid) has more density than water(liquid). Hence, it floats above water.


If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's above the surface of the water.?

Yes, that's correct! This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle helps explain why objects float or sink in water based on their density relative to the water.


Is oil denser then water?

No. It is less dense. That's why it floats above water.

How is the density of a floating object relate to the density of the fluid it is floating in?

If an item floats, Then it is less dense than the liquid it floats in. One can prove this using bernoulli's equation. To determine the weight of the floating object, take the volume of water displaced by the portion of the object below the fliud surface then multiply that by the density of the fluid. This process gives you the bouyant force on the floating object and therefore the weight. Then take that weight and divide it by the total volume of the. Object to get its density. Also note that if an item is suspended below the surface but. Above the bottom of the fluid body, then the item and fluid have equal density. If the item sinks to the bottom it has higher density than the fluid.
