Depending on the concept of buoyancy how can a relatively large ship float while a small and hard brick sink?
The determination of whether an object floats or sinks depends on the overall density of that object.
The large ship, due to large pockets of air in it, has a lower density than water.
The small and hard brick has a higher density than water and thus sinks.
This is because the upward force acting on the body when they are immersed in water (upthrust) is equal to the weight of fluid displaced.
The weight W of an object of density d and volume V can be stated as:
W = dVg
where g is the acceleration of free fall.
Upthrust is the weight of fluid displaced. So, if a body is completely immersed in a fluid of density D, upthrust U is given by:
U = DVg
If D > d, then U > W and therefore the body floats (upward force greater than downward force restores the position of the body to the surface so that upthrust is equal to weight)
If d > D, then W > U and therefore the body sinks (downward force greater than upward force)

How much does a lead brick weigh?
A lead brick typically weighs around 28 pounds per square inch, depending on its dimensions and density.
What is the value of poisson ratio for brick?
The typical Poisson's ratio for brick material is around 0.18 to 0.25, depending on the specific type of brick and its composition. This value represents the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain when a brick is subjected to a tensile or compressive load.
How much does a cube of brick weigh?
The weight of a cube of brick will vary depending on the size and density of the brick. On average, a standard brick weighs approximately 4.5 pounds. You can calculate the weight of a cube of brick by multiplying the weight of a single brick by the number of bricks in the cube.

Why does the buoyancy effect an egg in the water?
Let's take a walk and talk about this. The force of buoyancy affects everything in the water. It affects a brick. But the force of buoyancy isn't enough to keep the brick afloat. But a brick weighs less under water than it does in air. Take the volume of the brick, take an equal volume of water, weigh the water, subtract the weight of that water from the weight of the brick in air, and you'll end up with the weight of the brick in the water. This is buoyancy in action. The brick weighs less because the water is pushing around it on all sides, but particularly from the bottom. This is true of all objects that sink. Like your egg, for example. It you have a "normal" egg, that is. Do an experiment. Take a bowl of water large enough to hold something like, say, a cantaloupe. Fill it nearly full of water and leave it in the sink. Hold an egg in the palm of your hand, and hold your hand over the bowl. Note the "weight" of the egg. That is, feel how heavy it is in your hand. Now lower your hand into the water. The egg will feel noticeably lighter. That's because the water is acting on the egg to buoy it up, or push it to the surface. That's buoyancy. The egg, however, is just a bit more dense that the same volume of water, so the egg will sink. But the egg weighs very little underwater compared to what it weighs in air. You can feel how light it becomes when you lower your hand into the water. That's buoyancy affecting the egg. For the most part, liquids all try to push whatever is put into them out. Objects less dense than the liquid will float. Those that are more dense will sink, but will weigh less under water because of buoyancy. Buoyancy is the force equal to the weight of the water displaced by an object that is submerged.
How long does a brick take to decompose?
A brick can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose, depending on factors such as environmental conditions and brick composition. The durable nature of bricks makes them resistant to decomposition.

Is it hard to retrieve a ten pound brick from underwater?
Retrieving a ten pound brick from underwater can be challenging as the weight can make it difficult to swim or maneuver in the water. However, with proper technique and equipment like diving gear or a buoyancy device, it is possible to safely retrieve the brick. It is important to have the necessary skills and training before attempting such a task to ensure your safety.
