Water exerts a force on anything that comes into contact with it, this is known as Hydric force. The force always pulls at the object, drawing it down. You will notice that if you put your hand under water, and bring it out slowly, the water seems to cling to your hand as it breaks the surface. This is why. Stones can't pull themselves out of water, so the Hydric force overpowers them and pulls them down.

A stone sinks in water because it is more dense than water.

Diamonds do not float.


Why cant stones float in water?

The molecules in a stone are packed together more tightly than the molecules in water-- the stone is more dense than the water is, so the stone sinks.


When a stone is dropped in water why air bubbles are released?

When a stone is dropped in water, the force of impact pushes the air out of the small crevices and pores in the stone. This trapped air is then released in the form of bubbles as the stone sinks in the water.


Why does a stone in water sinks and the wood floats into the water?

Something has neutral bouyancy if it stays in the water wherever you put it, only if it has the same density as the water - there is no cause for it to float or sink than the volume of water it has displaced. If its density is more, as for a stone, it must be heavier than that so it sinks. For wood, it is lighter so water from above drops down as the wood rises.


Why the stone sinks in water?

it's because the density may be greater than the body of water that is why the stone sink...


Why does wood float but stone sink?

First, the stone sinks because of the weight, the wood would probably be much lighter than the stone.Second, the density. The stone is much more dense than the wood


Is stone lighter than water?

no as it normally sinks down when put in water


Why stone sink into water?

A stone is more dense and heavier than water, so it sinks. If you were to hollow out the top of the stone into a shape like a bowl, it would then be mostly filled with air, and might float. That is the same idea as with boats - even steel boats float if they are hollowed out to where they are light enough. I have even seen competitions to see who can build the best concrete boat.


Why doesn't a stone float?

A stone does not float because it is denser than water, meaning it weighs more than the water it displaces. The buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. Since the stone is heavier than the water it displaces, it sinks instead of floating.


Why does a stone sink in a liquid?

because the stone has alot of mass so, which the stone sinks to the bottom
