Steel sinks in water but a steel boat floats. Why ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Steel sinks in water because the density of steel is higher than water. But when steel is converted into a steel boat, it traps a lot of air and thus the average density of the steel boat is less than water. Hence, steel boat floats on water.
