Take 2 containers Fill 1up with water About 3/4 full.
Take the other container and fill it with the exact same amount of oil.
Take a rectangular floatable object. Weigh it, then put it in the water. mark the water line.
Dry the rectangular floatable object so that it is completely dry. Now put it in the tub of oil. mark the oil line. Since oil is lighter than water, it should float higher in the oil.
Ie: floating box is 6'' high. In the oil your mark is @ 3 inches from bottom. In the water it is 4 inches from the bottom. the weight of your box is 10 Gram's, oil is 2/3 the density of the water. It is called displacement. Hope this helps you.
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
The density of oil is generally lower than that of water, which means that oil floats on top of water. This difference in density is due to the composition of oils, which are usually less dense than water molecules.
Yes, water is denser than oil. Water has a higher density because its molecules are tightly packed together, while oil molecules are more spread out and have lower density. This difference in density is why oil floats on top of water.
Water has a higher density than oil, so it sinks below the oil layer when the two liquids are mixed. This difference in density causes the water to float on top of the oil. The phenomenon is due to the principle of buoyancy, where denser substances sink below less dense substances.
To determine the relative density of a substance, you can divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The relative density is also known as specific gravity and helps compare the density of a substance to that of water.
Oil is heavier than water so it sinks to the bottom.
Properties of oil, water, and glycerol compare to others used in radiations are very different because of their different density, flows, and material make ups.
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
The water would have the same density anywhere it is.
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water
Oil
Cooking oil has a density of 910 to 930 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.91 to 0.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore it is lighter than water and floats on it.
It is greater than water. It sinks.
