Question

A cork floats in water while a solid ball made of the same material sink​

Answer 1

Answer:

for floating abody should displace liquid equal to its weight but not mass

Explanation:

it is related to law of floatation

Answer 2

Answer:

solid balls are more dense (have more mass per volume) than water so they sink due to gravity. Corks are much lighter and less dense than water so float. .

Explanation:

Density =mass/volume and solid balls are more dense (have more mass per volume) than water so they sink due to gravity. Corks are much lighter and less dense than water so float. ... Cork is lighter than an equal volume of water, so it floats.
