  1. What will happen when a body is equally dense as the liquid?

    Oct 27, 2013 · If the liquid is water, and the body has the same density as water, then it will most likely float because of the surface tension of water caused by hydrogen bonds.

  2. How Does Altitude Affect the Weight of Water? - Physics Forums

    Sep 15, 2011 · Water has a density of 62.4 lbm/ft^3, resulting in a mass of 124.8 lbm for 2 ft^3 at both sea level and Colorado. At sea level, the weight of this water is calculated to be …

  3. What % volume of this floating object is submerged? - Physics …

    Dec 19, 2015 · The discussion revolves around determining the percentage of a floating object submerged in water, given its density of 985 kg/m^3 compared to water's density of 1000 …

  4. How wood is less dense than water? - Physics Forums

    Oct 13, 2011 · Wood is less dense than water. This means that particles of water are more close together than particles of wood. And so the kinetic energy of water particles should be less …

  5. Does density affect sinking speed? - Physics Forums

    Apr 18, 2015 · Density significantly influences the sinking speed of objects in water, primarily through its effect on buoyancy and weight. An object denser than water will sink, while its …

  6. Does water density play a role in the speed of surface waves?

    May 6, 2009 · Water density does not significantly impact the speed of surface waves as they transition from deep to shallow water; instead, the slowing is primarily due to the interference …

  7. Lateral force of water on the walls of a tank - Physics Forums

    Feb 26, 2012 · The pressure at a given depth can be calculated using the formula: pressure = depth x gravitational acceleration x water density. The total force on a wall is the integral of …

  8. How do you determine how fast an item sinks in water

    Jul 10, 2008 · To determine how fast an item sinks in water, Stokes' Law is a foundational concept, particularly for small spheres, where the drag force is proportional to the diameter …

  9. How is Density Related to Depth in the Ocean? - Physics Forums

    Sep 3, 2015 · The discussion focuses on the relationship between water density at a certain depth in the ocean and surface density, expressed by the equation ρ (z) ≈ ρ_s [1 + (ρ_s g/B)z]. …

  10. Properties We take the density of lake water to be 1000 kg/m3 throughout. Analysis (a) When the car is well-sealed and thus the pressure inside the car is the atmospheric pressure, the …
