Because it is easier to put in your pocket.
Sand has a higher density than water, so it sinks to the bottom when placed in water due to gravity pulling it down. The sand particles are heavier and more compact than water molecules, causing them to settle at the bottom.
Sand and water both have weight and both have volume. A cup (volume) of sand weighs more than an equal volume of water. So the sand pushes the water out of the way and sinks. A cup of wood chips weighs less than an equal volume of water. So the water pushes the wood chips out of the way and they float. Try it and see.
The word for thinking you are better than others is "arrogance" or "egotism."
A person who thinks they are better than others is often referred to as arrogant, conceited, or elitist.
The moral of the fable of the oak and the reed is that flexibility and adaptability are often better than strength and rigidity. The reed's ability to bend and sway with the wind allowed it to survive, while the oak's stubbornness led to its downfall.
A rope of sand would, of course, be utterly useless for anythinf you wanted a rope for, like tying thirteen things together but a rope (or chain) or iron would be unbreakable and would fetter something which ought to be free. Michael Montagne I think the question is asking why people said that a rope of sand (ie the Articles of Confederation) would be better than a rope of iron (ie the US under the Constitution). Many people were frightened of a strong central government, having just become independent from a monarch. Even thought the Articles of Confederation were not initially very sucessful, many people thought that a strong central government would become dictorial.
Patrick Henry used the phrase "a rope of sand" to illustrate the idea that a weak and ineffective alliance (like a rope of sand) is preferable to a strong but oppressive authority (like a rod of iron). He believed that a government based on consent and liberty, even if imperfect, was more desirable than one that enforced order through tyranny and fear. In essence, he argued for the value of freedom and self-governance over coercive power.
The Greek poet, Pindar, is often credited with the saying "a rope of sand is stronger than a rod of iron." This quote is used to emphasize the importance of unity and working together towards a common goal, as even a weak, united force can overcome a strong, divided one.
Because Iron Man is better than batman
Iron is a better conductor of electricity compared to alluvium. This is because iron is a metal that contains free electrons, which can easily move and carry electrical charge. Alluvium, which is made up of a mixture of sediments like sand, silt, and clay, does not have the same abundance of free electrons as metals like iron.
Soil has better stability because it can be wet and have better strength than sand...
Iron man is better than superman
Of course boys can jump rope. I know a lot of boys who do jump rope, and they're better than A LOT of the girls.
