When a needle is placed on the surface of water, the surface tension of the water causes it to be attracted to the needle, creating a depression in the water surface underneath the needle. This results in a downward force acting on the needle, causing it to sink into the water.

What happen if the needle place on a small tissue paper and very gently put the paper on the surface of water?

The tissue paper will likely float on the water's surface as long as the needle does not break through the paper. This is due to surface tension, which allows light objects to float on water.


How can a simple compass be made using a magnet?

Repetitively stroke a pin which CID attracted to the magnet in 1 direction for two minutes (stroke, lift, back, down, stroke, etc.). Stick the needle in a cork and put it in some water - one end will point north and the other south.

Why doesn't a balloon pop with a needle through it?

When you insert a needle into a balloon, it creates a small hole. The air inside the balloon escapes gradually through this hole, preventing the balloon from popping. The pressure inside the balloon decreases as the air escapes, relieving the stress and preventing a sudden burst.

How can a sewing needle float on the surface of water?

The needle does not break the surface tension (meniscus). Get a small piece of toilet tissue and lay it on a glass of water. lay a needle on the tissue. The tissue will become sodden and sink, leaving the needle floating on the surface tension. Put the smallest drop of washing-up liquid on the water. The surface tension will be destroyed and the needle will sink. Try it.


Can you put gel from a fentanyl patch directly on your skin?

Yes. You can take a needle or safety pin and insert it into one of the corners of the fentanyl patch. Then, move the needle or safety pin, left & right, to make a small slit in the patch. Remove the needle and then take a credit card or some other type of hard, firm card and slide the card across the patch, to move the gel inside the patch, towards the slit that you made with the needle. Push the gel out of the slit. Then, take a syringe that is prefilled with water, about 30-40 cc's of water and carefully remove the plunger, after shaking the water down towards the needle. Then, take the gel and carefully apply it onto the opening of the syringe. Then, dip your index finger into water, until the water is on the verge of dripping off of your finger. Put your wet finger over the opening of the syringe and over the gel. (the wet finger will prevent the gel from sticking to your finger and mix with the water in the syringe) Then, shake the syringe upside down until the gel mixes with the water. Then, put the plunger back into the syringe and push the water filled with gel, up towards the needle end, careful not to push too far up, as the water mixed gel, will come out of the needle! Then, there you go!

Is a sewing needle magnetic?

Sewing needles are almost always made of steel, which is a magnetic alloy of iron, which is, itself, magnetic. Sometimes we put a bowl of water on the table, rub and tap a sewing needle with one end of a permanent magnet for a few seconds, float the needle on the water (a hint of oil on the needle might help), and construct a homemade magnetic compass.
