Oranges Float In Water by wandevincent(m): 12:54pm On Sep 28, 2017 |
I don't actually know where this should be properly placed, perhaps the mods can help with this, I bought some oranges today and wanted them a little bit cold before consuming it,so I decided to improvise as I don't have a fridge by putting it in a bucket of water expecting it to sink and stay at the bottom,but contrary to this,all the oranges were all floating.Can someone offer an explanation to this?

Op archimedes principle na. U neva do physics? If you notice the rise of water in the container after u dip the oranges, Thats equal to the weight of the oranges so that means the density of those oranges is lesser than the density of water thats why they are floating. |
