OBJECTS THAT ARE MADE OF
When an object with a greater density than water is placed in a bucket of water, it will sink. The effect is due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that the upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
To understand why the object sinks, we can compare the object's density with that of water. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. If the object's density is greater than that of water, it means the object has more mass packed into the same volume compared to water. As a result, the object is heavier than the weight of the water it displaces, leading to its sinking.
To determine the density of an object, you need to know its mass and volume. First, measure the mass of the object using a scale. Then, measure the volume by either using a ruler to measure its dimensions and calculating the volume based on its shape, or by submerging the object in water and measuring the volume of water displaced.
Once you have the mass and volume, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density. If the density of the object is greater than the density of water, it will sink when placed in a bucket of water.
