Answer 8

If you want to know if something will float.

Answer 9

If something is denser than water, it will sink, if it is less dense it will float.

Answer 10

well there are other factors.. like weight and surface tension @wio

Answer 11

How does weight factor in?

Answer 12

lol no just surface tension sorry :P

Answer 13

idk what i was thinking there lol

Answer 14

Yeah, surface tension matters if it isn't already submerged.

Answer 15

yes true true :P there are a lot of different factors when experimenting
