That depends on how much gargo it's carrying. But

if it's floating, then its density is less than 1.0 .

Does iron have low density?

Iron is a dense metal, not low density. Its density is around 7.87 g/cm³ at room temperature.


Why does iron sinks while iron boat floats on sea?

jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.


If a boat is sinking because it has to much cargo How does density compare to the density of water?

If a boat with too much cargo is sinking, it means the combined density of the boat and cargo is greater than the density of water. Water has a density of 1 g/cm^3, so anything with a greater density will sink. To stay afloat, an object must have a density less than that of water.


What is the density of iron ore?

The density of iron ore is variable. Iron ore refers to a rocktype that contains iron minerals. The type and concentration of the iron minerals as well the type and concentration of non-iron minerals determines the density of the iron ore. Typical high grade iron ore is approximately 65% hematite and 35% other (commonly silicate). The density of hematite is approximately 5 g/cc and a general density for crustal rocks (silicates) is approximately 2.67 g/cc. Therefore iron ore that is 65% hematite and 35% silicate would have a density of approximately 4 g/cc.


How do you change the overall Density of a boat?

I don't understand what you're asking, so I'll reply based on the literal meaning of your question. One way to change the overall density of a boat is to take it apart and make it out of a material with a different density. You could just add ballast or cargo.

Why can an iron boat float but an iron cube can not?

The iron boat is an "empty shell" with air filled space inside, reducing its density compared to the iron cube which is iron all the way through.

Is the density of copper more than iron?

Copper has a density of 8.9 g/cm3 while iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. Therefore copper is denser than iron.


Is the density of an iron nail different thanthat of an iron gate?

if they are both made of iron and no other impurities the density is the same


Is the density of a kilogram of iron less than the density of 1 gram of iron?

No. That's the beauty of "density". It's a characteristic of the substance, and the size of the sample has no effect on it. As long as the sample is pure, a pinhead of it has the same density as a truckload of it.

Why do boats with water sink?

When the density of entire assembly (boat, peoples, products, equipments, water etc.) has a density greater then the water density the boat is sinking.


Is the density of cotton more than density of iron?

No, cotton has a density of 1.54-1.56 g/cm³ while iron has a density of 7.874 g/cm³
