The tissue paper will likely float on the water's surface as long as the needle does not break through the paper. This is due to surface tension, which allows light objects to float on water.

How can a sewing needle float on the surface of water?

The needle does not break the surface tension (meniscus). Get a small piece of toilet tissue and lay it on a glass of water. lay a needle on the tissue. The tissue will become sodden and sink, leaving the needle floating on the surface tension. Put the smallest drop of washing-up liquid on the water. The surface tension will be destroyed and the needle will sink. Try it.


Why does a needle float in water?

It doesn't actually float, since its density is greater than water. It is kept from sinking by the surface tensionof the water. This phenomenon is created by the formation of polar bonds between the surface water molecules. To make this happen, the needle must be carefully placed on the calm surface of the water, usually held in a container like a glass tumbler (easier to keep the surface calm, than in a wider container like a bowl).If you wish to prove this principle, here is a very successful method:1. Place a piece of tissue, slightly larger than the needle is long, flat on the surface of the water.2. Lay the needle carefully on the tissue.When the tissue becomes saturated and sinks away from the needle, the needle will remain on the surface of the water. If you wish, once the tissue sinks, It can be removed (carefully) from the system with tweezers. Then you can amaze your friends with your imponderable, impossible feat, of floating a needle. This method will work with a paper clip as well. Any metal object, with smooth surfaces and not too heavy, may be used.Tip: shape matters. Common pins have been used, but often they won't work because their heads breach the tension membrane.More Information:Surface tension. The needle is thin and light, so it just lays on the water. Surface tension is what we call a thin flexible membrane, formed by the polar bonding of surface water molecules, to each other. like a water bed for very light objects.


How can you break the attachment of molecules in the surface tension?

The surface tension of water can be broken by adding dishwashing detergent to the water. This can be demonstrated by filling a bowl with water, then floating a needle in it. This may sound almost impossible, but it can be easily achieved by placing the needle on a tissue, then carefully floating it on the water. When the tissue sinks, the needle should remain on the surface. It is prevented from sinking by the water's surface tension. Carefully add one drop of dishwashing detergent, and the needle will sink. You can prove this was due to the surface tension being broken by trying to float the needle again. If you added enough detergent this should be impossible, as detergent acts as a wetting agent and breaks the surface tension.

What happen when you rub vinyl with tissue paper?

Rubbing vinyl with tissue paper may generate static electricity, potentially causing dust and debris to stick to the vinyl surface. It is not recommended to rub vinyl records with tissue paper as it can lead to scratching or damaging the surface of the record. It is best to use a specialized cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to clean vinyl records.


When you look at the surface of your skin you see connective tissue?

The surface of your skin is primarily made up of epithelial tissue, not connective tissue. Connective tissue is found beneath the surface of the skin and plays a supportive role in providing structure and strength to the skin.


The tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment?

Epithelial tissue is the type of tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment. This tissue serves as a protective barrier or lining for organs and cavities in the body.
