Why a nail sink in a bucket of water?
A nail sinks in water because it is denser than water and displaces water which exerts an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the water displaced by the nail, causing it to sink. The weight of the nail overcomes this buoyant force, making it sink to the bottom of the bucket.
Why dont a steel nail float?
A steel nail is denser than water, so it sinks. The weight of the nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink to the bottom.
A cork piece floats on water but an iron nail sinks give reason?
The cork piece floats because it is less dense than water, allowing it to displace enough water to support its weight. The iron nail sinks because it is denser than water and does not displace enough water to counteract its weight, causing it to sink.
How does an ocean vessel float but not a nail?
An ocean vessel has a larger surface area compared to its weight, allowing it to displace enough water to generate buoyant force and float. In contrast, a nail has a smaller surface area relative to its weight, causing it to sink in water due to insufficient buoyant force.
Why does a nail sink in water where as a ship having a much bigger mass floats on the surface of water?
It seems like they ought to sink because we're used to seeing things fall. But for the ship to sink it has to push aside some water, which has nowhere to go but up. So it's a question: does the ship 'want' to sink more than the water 'wants' not to rise? It turns out that just depends on whether the ship weighs more or less than the amount of water that would fill the same space. Real ships have lots of air inside, so they weigh less than the same volume of water, so they float. A nail, on the other hand, sinks due to the fact the it is a solid object. The amount of water that fills the same space is small.

How to remove nail polish from bathroom sink?
To remove nail polish from a bathroom sink, try using a non-acetone nail polish remover on a cotton ball or cloth to gently dab and wipe away the polish. Alternatively, you can mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a paste, apply it to the stained area, scrub gently, and then rinse with water.
Why dont a steel nail float?
A steel nail is denser than water, so it sinks. The weight of the nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink to the bottom.
How a nail sink in a water but the ships float?
Iron (or steel) has about 8 times the density of water. Therefore, the nail will sink. The ship also has empty spaces, with air, inside - thus the average density is less than that of water.
To drive in a nail?
To drive in a nail is 'enfoncer un clou' in French. The specific fact of driving a (headless) nail into the plank, so as to make it sink below the wood level, is 'chasser un clou'.

Why does a wooden cork float in water but an iron nail sink?
Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
How do you get nail polish of without the remover or scratching them?
Run some hot/warm water into the sink and put some soap in there. Then put your hands in the sink and wait a couple of minuets. This should loosen it and then rub it off! It works for me. :)
Is an objects density determines whether it floats or sinks in water?
yes it does. try to sink a cork. it doesn't sink but on the other hand a iron nail does.the higher the mass the more the density and so the object sinks.
What are nail sets used for?
A nail set is used to sink the nail into the wood as oppose to having the nail sit flush with the wood. Usually after using the nail set and driving the nail into the wood, one would take wood putty and fill the hole so the nail would be "invisible" to the naked eye.
