A rigid sphere will sink if its average density is greater than the density of the fluid it is placed in. It will float if its average density is less than the density of the fluid. Archimedes' principle explains that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, determining whether it floats or sinks.
What else can I help you with?
Will a magnet float or sink?
A magnet would typically sink in water as it is denser than water and does not have the buoyancy to float.
Would gold sink or float in water?
Gold is a very dense metal, so it would sink in water rather than float.
Would a block with a mass of 23g that measures 3cm in all directions float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape. A solid sphere of any object with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/m3 would not float in water. Any object with a sufficiently large bowl shape would float regardless of density.
Would Blocks sink or float?
Blocks made of materials like wood or plastic would typically float in water, while blocks made of materials like metal or concrete would sink. The density and composition of the block determine whether it will sink or float in water.
Would the float or sink?
An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is sitting in. If the object is denser than the fluid, it will sink.
Can a quarter sink or float?
The quarter would sink.
Would Venus float or sink on earth?
float
Does Anorthite sink or float in water?
It will float. Its a rock. It actually depends on how much water you have, if you you tried float it in the ocean, it would obviously sink. But if you tried to float it on a gladd or bowl or water, it would float,
Would a ride of solid silver sink or float in liquid silver?
sink
Will a magnet float or sink?
A magnet would typically sink in water as it is denser than water and does not have the buoyancy to float.
Marble has a density of 2.05 would it float or sink in water?

Would a cube that's 50 gram sink or float in water?
it would sink
Would gold sink or float in water?
Gold is a very dense metal, so it would sink in water rather than float.
Does an object in water sink or float?
It is because some things have air in them. A sponge has air in it so it would float. a pair of socks would soon soak up all of the water and sink. __________ It really is complicated. Some objects float mainly because of their shape; you could float a glass bowl on water if it has a stable enough shape, but a sphere of glass with the same mass as the bowl would obviously sink. Many of the materials in an ocean liner would sink, including the materials that make up the hull and basic inner structure, if they were formed into spheres. But not all substances would sink even if formed into solid spheres. Such an object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density (specific gravity) of the water. It will float if it is less dense than the water.
Would a block with a mass of 23g that measures 3cm in all directions float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape. A solid sphere of any object with a density greater than 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/m3 would not float in water. Any object with a sufficiently large bowl shape would float regardless of density.
Will a paper clip sink or float?
A paper clip would float not sink. The only stuff that would sink would be the heavy stuff like a TV. thanks 4 the answer bro well the scientific way would be if the density of the object is greater than 1g/ml it will sink, if it less than 1g/ml it will float.
Would Blocks sink or float?
Blocks made of materials like wood or plastic would typically float in water, while blocks made of materials like metal or concrete would sink. The density and composition of the block determine whether it will sink or float in water.
