Why does concrete float?
Concrete does not float naturally in water; it is denser than water. However, when concrete objects such as boats or platforms float on water, it is typically due to buoyancy provided by a hollow structure or trapped air pockets within the concrete. This buoyant force can make the overall concrete object less dense than water, causing it to float.
Will concrete sink in water?
If the weight of the object is greater than that of an equal volume of water, it'll sink. People build boats out of concrete - it's a common assignment in civil engineering classes. If the boat will displace 1000 gallons of water but it weighs less than 8000 pounds...it'll float.
What force allows boats to float?
Buoyancy is the force that allows boats to float. When a boat displaces water, it experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the water it displaces, keeping it afloat.
What is a wooden float called?
A wooden float used in construction and masonry work is typically called a "wood float" or "hand float." It is used to smooth and level wet concrete surfaces.
Why do boats float and ships sink?
Provided the boats and the ships displace their weight in water without the water coming inboard, they will float and not sink. A boat made of wood is likely to float even when full of water because wood tends to float. It is all to do with displacement and freeboard.
Can a plactic boat float?
Yes, they even build boats out of concrete!
Why does concrete float?

This buoyant force can make the overall concrete object less dense than water, causing it to float.
Do boats have to float?
If boats didn't float, they wouldn't be boats, they'd be anchors.
How can a concrete or metal boat float?
A concrete or metal boat can float due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. Although concrete and metal are denser than water, boats made from these materials are hollow or have a shape designed to displace enough water to support their weight. This design creates a situation where the overall density of the boat, including the air inside it, is less than that of water, allowing it to float.
What are advantages for boats?
They float.
What does boats have to do with science?
Science is what can explain how boats float and work.
What makes boats float on water?
Bouyancy is what makes a boat float
Why are boats hollow?
So that they float.
What things won't float?
Every rock (minding bedrock) bricks, ships or boats if they get water in them, concrete, cement, televisions, stereos, ....etc. Things more dense that water
Do planes fly?
yes they doscientists have revealed it. Have you tried it it's just like sailing.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Do boats float?no boats don't float, they sail.
Why do fiberglass boats float?
Becuase they float off of smelly cheesey farts
What are small sail boats prone to do?
Float
