A steel cube sinks in water because steel is denser than water, meaning it displaces less water when submerged. The weight of the steel cube is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink.
It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.
No, steel is denser than saline water, so a steel pin would sink in saline water.
No, 7.81 g of steel will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Steel has a higher density than water, so it will not displace enough water to float.
No, a solid steel bar will sink in water because steel is denser than water. Only objects with a lower density than water will float.

It really depends on the shape. A cube of steel will sink but a boat displaces less water due to its shape and floats.
No, steel is not lighter when in water. Steel is denser than water, so it will sink in water rather than float. The weight of the steel displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, making it sink.
it would sink
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
an ice cube cannot sink in water because its density is less than that of water. this is because of the air bubbles trapped inside; that make the ice cube less dense than water.
Water
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.
No, steel is denser than saline water, so a steel pin would sink in saline water.
A needle is made of steel ; as steel is denser than water, a steel needle should sink in water because of this.
To make an ice cube sink, you can add salt to the water before freezing the ice cube. The salt lowers the freezing point of water, making the ice cube denser than the surrounding water and causing it to sink.
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.
