Cause it is heavier than water. More dense, aka more mass per unit volume.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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 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'.
Rub it with Goo Gone or nail polish remover, then soap and water.
Scrape it with a wooden spatula. If this fails use Goof Off on it.

Wooden cork is less dense than the water and the iron is not.
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.
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. :)
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.
