Float or sink?
Change the densities and watch a block find its level in a fluid.
What to notice
A floating block displaces fluid with the same weight as the block.
Key relation
Fᵦ = ρfluid Vsub g
Try this
Make the object denser than the fluid. What changes?
What you can change
- Object density: 300 to 1500 kg/m³
- Fluid density: 700 to 1300 kg/m³
- Object volume: 5 to 30 L
