A rock will sink because it is heavier than..?
...the water it displaces. When comparing the weight of the rock to the weight of the water it displaces, the rock is denser and will sink.
What will rise and what will sink?
Objects that are less dense than the fluid they are in will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. The buoyant force acting on an object is determined by the difference between the object's weight and the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Is steel lighter when in the water?
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.
Why does a potato sink?
A potato sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water. This means that the weight of the potato is enough to overcome the buoyant force exerted by the water, causing it to sink.
What can sink in water?
Objects that are denser than water can sink, such as rocks, metal, or certain types of wood. Additionally, some objects that are initially buoyant may sink if they become waterlogged or if their weight increases.

How much does a 55 gallon drum weigh that is filled with water?
neglecting the weight of the steel drum and assuming a gallon weighs 8.2 pounds in Americian units, the calc would be 55 X 8.2 = 451 pounds. The extra weight of the steel drum would sink it from this nutral boyancy state. Also,55 gallon drums only hold 50 or so gallons.
How much does an object need to weigh to sink in a bucket of water?
An object will sink in water if its weight is greater than the buoyant force acting on it. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting on it. If the weight of the object exceeds the buoyant force (equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object), it will sink.
Granite kitchen sink?
stay away from such a kitchen sink they are expensive and fragile, the slightest bump or too much weight will crack the sink. its not worth the money. stay with stainless steel.
How is the mass and volume of an object related to whether it will sink or float?

How buoyant is a 55gal plastic drum?
A 55-gallon plastic drum can typically float when it is empty, as it is designed to hold liquids. However, when filled with liquid, it will become heavy and sink. The buoyancy will depend on the weight of the liquid inside and the weight of the drum itself.
How much does one gallon cost in Canada?
A U.S. gallon is 3.78 litres. Obviously then, when we are paying $1.00 per litre, the we are really paying $3.78/U.S. gallon. The Americans were panicing when they were paying these type of numbers. Why are Canadians paying so much??? Free Trade??? We have all the oil and gas for crying down the sink!!
