At Mercury, the Ohio Players enjoyed their greatest success; not only did their sound coalesce, but they became notorious for their sexually provocative LP covers, a tradition begun during their Westbound tenure.
Objects float when the volume of water they displace is less than the volume of the objects themselves. When objects sink, the volume of water they displace is greater than the volume of the object. The principle may seem relatively simple: Light objects float and heavy objects sink.
1 You can compare the density of other substances to the density of water by using a balance. 2  Compare the weight of a wax candle to the weight of an equal volume of water. 3  Since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water it must be less dense than water. 4  Therefore the wax floats. Comparing the density of an object to the density of water can tell you whether the object will sink or float. 2  The rock is more dense than water so the rock sinks. 3  The wood is less dense than water so the wood floats.
