Explain why a sewing needle can float on the surface a water in a glass

Physics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago

The needle has buoyancy and that means it won't sink. It also has a lot to do with the weight of the needle which is very little. The less weight there is the easier it will be to float.

How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3
Hitman42 [59]
There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero.  Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero. 
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.
