SHORT RIBS SO AHEACp 2 TWINIK float. Whether a body will sink or float depends on its density. Density depends on weight. It also difdepends on size. Take t o bodies of ferent materials. If both have the same weight, the smaller one is the denser body. Thus steel is denser than cork, for a pound of steel is much smaller than a pound of rock. When a solid body is submerged in a fluid, it pushes some of the fluid aside. If the solid is more dense than the fluid, it weighs more than the fluid it pushes aside. It will sink. If the solid body is less dense than the fluid, it weighs less than the fluid it pushes aside. It will float. So the reason ice floats is that it is less dense than water. When water freezes to become ice, it greatly expands. Ten quarts of water make about 11 quarts of solid ice. So when even a big, heavy piece of ice Is in the water, that ice weighs less than the water that it pushes aside, and it floats. And this is why the huge pieces of ice we call icebergs can float. Icebergs measuring hundreds of feet are very common, and giant bergs from a quarter mile to a half mile across after often seen. But these icebergs are only eight-nintas heavy as the sea water that they push aside, so they float. This is h of an iceberg also why only projects above sea level and eight-nintis submerged below. Bergs that rise 150 feet above the sea may extend 1,000 feet below. (Win four illustrated "Tell Me Why" books, with 1,500 questions answered.
