How would the stability of the pontoon be affected if it were floated on a liquid with a greater density than water?

Yes as the volume of the liquid displaced would be less so the stability would also be lessened.

How can you tell when two liquids with the same volume which one has greater density?
The one with the higher mass has greater density since density = mass / volume.......
Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?
The shape or size of a mineral sample does not affect its density. Since mass is proportional to volume, an increase in mass also increases the volume. The ratio between the two remains constant, hence the density is not affected.
What is the density of head?
Slightly greater than the density of water.
Does density increase volume and mass?
Density = mass / volume. So, to get a greater density, you'll either need to have a greater mass, or a smaller volume - or a combination of the two.
What can you say about the density of a paper clip versus the density water?
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
Did the substances that floated have a density greater than or less than 1?
Assuming they are floating on water, the density of the substance would be LESS than 1.
Why density of a liquid is more affected by changes in temperature than the density of a solid?
liquids are more affected by the surroundings because there is a greater surface area to be affected by outside influences
What affects density more temperature or salinity?
Density is affected by both temperature and salinity. The colder the temperature and the saltier the substance, the greater the density.
How is density affected if two objects have the same volume but different masses?
Greater the mass higher the density and less the mass lower the density as D = M/V For fixed V, density is directly proportional to the mass.
Explain how an increase in population density allows disease to have a greater influence in regulating population size?
When a population increases, there is greater potential for influences such as disease to have a greater impact on the population. The total numbers of people affected will be greater than in a smaller population.
What is realtion between bond order and stability of molecule?
greater the bond order, greater is the stability of the molecule.
Where is the density greater at the mantle?
the density is greater at the middle of the mantle
Does freshwater or saltwater have a greater density?
Salt water has a greater density.
Which has the greater density a kilogram of feathers of kilogram of iron?
Iron has a greater density.
Is the population density of Germany greater than the population density of the US?
yes Germany's pop density is greater
A boat will float higher in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Potomac River because ocean water has -?
Greater density
