What else can I help you with?
Can a pin float on water?
Yes, a pin can float on water due to its low density and small surface area. Surface tension of water helps support the weight of the pin, allowing it to float.
What property enables you to float a pin on water?
Surface tension is the property that enables a pin to float on water. It is the result of the cohesive forces between water molecules at the surface, creating a sort of "skin" that can support the weight of small objects like a pin.
Why can A steel pin can float on water?
A steel pin can float on water due to surface tension. The pin's weight is evenly distributed over the surface of the water, allowing it to be supported by the surface tension created by the water molecules. The pin's small size and shape contribute to this effect, allowing it to stay on the surface without sinking.
A straight pin floats on water?
Normally no. But if you carefully set the pin on some still water, yes it can 'float' on the water due to what's called surface tension. This is also what causes a small amount of water on a smooth surface to 'bead'. It's also what keeps water beetles on top of the water in ponds.
Does Fimo float?
No, Fimo does not float in water. It is a type of polymer clay that is dense and sinks in water.
Why does that a small pin sinks in water whereas A big ship floats in water Explain?
AnswerThe air in the ship PLUS the weight of the ship must just equalthe weight of the water displaced (pushed out of the way)by the hull of the ship.The pin lacks the air.
What all pin is sink in water?
A pin sinks in water primarily due to its density being greater than that of water. While the pin may have a small surface area, which could create some buoyant force, the overall weight of the pin exceeds this force, causing it to sink. Additionally, the shape of the pin does not allow for sufficient displacement of water to counteract its weight. Thus, the combination of its density and weight leads to sinking.
Why a pin sinks in water but a ship do not?
Because ship have lot of air inside it to make a pressure but a pin is a solid just like the case of balloon
Can a pin float on water?
Yes, a pin can float on water due to its low density and small surface area. Surface tension of water helps support the weight of the pin, allowing it to float.
How do you adjust the windscreen water sprayer on a peugeot 106?
if you get a small pin and look from where the water comes from and you will see a small hole just pop the pin in there and pull it up a little bit
Why does a thumbtack on the water sink?
A thumbtack sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. While the thumbtack is small and has a pointed shape, it does not displace enough water to create a buoyant force that can counteract its weight. As a result, it cannot float and instead sinks to the bottom.

Does a pin float on lemonade?
yes it does because of the fizz giving it support but then after a while it sinks.
How could ships weighing thousand of pounds float in the water while a small coin sinks right to the bottom?
Displaction
If a ship sinks is it displacing more or less water and why?
it is displacing more water imagine putting a rock into a small container of water. the container appears to have more water because it was displaced
