Because of surface tension on the top of the water. Surface tension is when the water molecules stick together allowing a small, light object to "float" on the surface. If you genitally pushed on the pin after is settled on the water, you would break the surface tension and the pin would sink.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?
-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.
Does iron box float on water when density of iron is less than water?
No, even if the density of the iron is less than water, the density of the iron box as a whole would still be greater than water, making it sink. Density is determined by the total mass of an object divided by its total volume, not just the material it is made of.
Will a cotton ball float on oil and water?
Yes it will float until it is less denser than oil and water. But just after increasing its density by absorbing enough water or oil it will start sinking.
What makes the egg float in the salt water?
Well... The salt in the water makes the egg float because the water becomes more dense than just plain water
Why do ships float in deep water?
Because they weight of the water they displace is more than they weigh themselves. in another way: for something to float the density of the object has to be lesser than the density of the liquid it's submerged into. And although ships are heavy they aren't as heavy as a lump of water shaped just like the ship would be.

What would happen if you dropped Saturn in a big ocean of water?
It would be submerged in water.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Yes, a substance with a density of 1 gram per ml would float in water because water has a density of 1 gram per ml. If the substance had a density greater than 1 gram per ml, it would sink, and if it had a density less than 1 gram per ml, it would float.
What is the background research on Egg Flotation?
eggs float better with water and salt but they do not float in just water
Would an object that is 3.7 Cm3 float in water?
That depends on the object's density, not just on its volume. For example, the object you mention would float if it has a mass of less than about 3.7 gramms.
How do you float in deep water?
Just the same as you do in shallow water.
Why do most substances float in air if they flow in water?
I suspect that "flow" is meant to also be "float", but even with that substitution, it just changes the question from nonsensical to counterfactual.Most things that float in water do not float in air.
Can oily dissolved in water?
Oil does not dissolve in water, it will just float on top.
