Question

given reason what does a cork float but a nail sink in water

Answer 1

Cork has a density lower than water while a nail has a density greater than water. Therefore a greater upthrust is acted on the cork than the nail. That's why a cork floats but a nail sinks

Answer 2

Hi!!!!!


If we keep iron nail in water,it sinks.....Bcoz, the density of iron nail is more than the density of water.....


In case of cork, the density of cork is less than the density of water....So, it floats on water.....

Hope it hlpzz u dude......
