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.
What else can I help you with?
How you can convert Density of Crude oil into specific Gravity?
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).
How does the oils density compares to water?
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.
Is water denser than oil?
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.
Why does water float on oil?
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.
How can one determine the relative density of a substance?
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.
How does oils density compare to waters density?
Oil is heavier than water so it sinks to the bottom.
How do the properties of oil water and glycerol compare to others used in radiators?
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.
Does oil or water have a lower density?
Oil floats on water, and has a lower density.
How would water density compare to ocean water?
The water would have the same density anywhere it is.
Oil floats on water because its density is what on water?
Type your answer here... the oil has more density
Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?
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.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Why oil not mixed with water?
Because of different densities; being density of oil lower than water density, this makes oil float on water
Does oil or water have the lower density?
Oil
Is the density of water more then the density of 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.
How does the density of magnesium compare with that of water?
It is greater than water. It sinks.
