Metal is denser than the water thats why it sinks, but boats are designed to be floated in water dosent matter its iron or wooden boat. Its because of a certain law called Archimedes' principle. It states that "the liquid displaced by the object is equals to the weight of that object". The overall density of the boat is less than water.

Why do coins sink?
Coins sink because they lack the buoyancy to float. Their density is higher than that of the water and their shape does not allow them to displace enough water to be buoyant before sinking.
Does an apple float or sink in water?
Apples flkoat in watter that is why you can "bob" for apples.
Why does an apple without skin sink in a bowl of water?
It has more dense that water. when you take off the skin your loosing every thing that is keeping the apple up. so when the apple all the water in the apple are being weighed down,
What makes a fruit float or sink?
Density. It depends how dense the fruit is and how much water there is. Suppose you had a 1" by 2" aquarium full of water, and you dropped an apple in it. The apple would float, because it would be less dense then the water.
What are the object that sink in water?
object that sink in water

No, an apple does not sink. It floats, and that is why the game bobbing for apples can be played.
Can you put apple juice down the sink?
yes but it leaves your sink smelling of urine after 3 days and if the apple juice is left in the pipe the apple juice goes moldy and starts to rot and you will have to replace all the sink unit so you can pour apple juice down the sink but it has these conciques but it is not advised to put apple juice down the sink. by gorge xxx
Why an apple can float on water?
Apples float because the apple is less dense than water. Objects more dense than water sink because even when fully underwater they don't displace enough water to equal their weight.
Why does a coin sink in water while a piece of Styrofoam of a similar size and shape floats?
Coins are denser than water. Styrofoam is less dense than water.

Why coins sink in water?
They're heavier than water is. The density of the metal is greater than water. The density is the weight per volume. Any material that has a greater density of 62.5 pounds per cubic feet (1000 kg per cubic meter) will sink.
Which will sink water or maple syrup?
Maple syrup will sink but water is unable to sink because it is water.
What would happen if you put proixde on a apple?
If you put proxide on an apple it will wilt or it will sink in and make the apple brown.
