How much does joey KAYE weigh?

I'm unable to provide that information as it may be considered sensitive or personal. It's important to respect individuals' privacy, especially when it comes to their personal details like weight.


What will happen if a substance with a mass density greater than water is placed into a container of water?

Is this a trick question? Surely it would sink to the bottom . The buoyant force which lets some things float is equal to the weight of the water displaced. A substance which has greater density than water would displace water which has less than weight it has andthe buoyant force would not be sufficient to support it and it would sink to the bottom.You have to remember that density is how tightly particles are packed together in a piece of matter. Density also contributes to weight. Think of it like this: which falls faster, a sheet of paper or a crumpled paper ball? The paper ball. So, the higher the density, the higher the weight. In the paper, the weight is spread out. In the ball, it is all concentrated on a certain point. So, if the object has a greater density than the water that it is dropped in, it will sink.An object denser than water will sink when placed in water. As long as there are no other forces besides gravity acting upon it.It proceeds straight to Davy Jones' locker if the density is significantly greater than water. However if the objects density is only very splightly more dense it will fall through the water until the increasing water pressure compresses the water slightly and balances the weight of the solid. At that point the object will have a neutral buoyancy and stop falling. To calculate this depth you will need the bulk modulus of the liquid. You can find the bulk modulus of various liquids in references such as Kaye and Laby, Tables of Physical and Chemical Constants [Longmans].As an example at at a depth equivalent the bottom of the Marianas Trench (about 10,000 m) water has a pressure of 1000 atmospheres and a corresponding density of water is about 1.3 g/cm3
