Nope, got nothing.....

That's ok then - I got about 30 e-mails of varying abuse. Some very very bad but that's life I guess - we all have to endure these pathetic episodes once in a while.

I thought you liked neighbours ?

Water, at a guess?

It's not the water that floats a boat though Alex, it's the water displacement. And boats are normally trialed (finding the plimsole line) in freshwater because this water is less dense. Salt water allows the boat (or any vessel) to float higher in the water. Apparantly.

joe you need to go into a clinic and dry out

joe you need to go into a clinic and dry out

I know, they said I could come on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights to 'dry out' but I told them that was impossible - I'm busy - drinking down the pub on those nights. The fools.

 

[Joe_Fox]

While you are on about Clinic - that's another good new band. They are from Liverpool and sound good from what I've heard.

I would like to have you as a pet.

Get a room you 2.

 

[Joe_Fox]

No room at the inn.

 

[Durham Fox]

No room at the inn.

Homer does a good rate on rooms, watch out for the 2 way mirrors though.

I'll take your advice - how do you know these things?

pressure selling.

I don't take no for an answer

So, Joe..... Are you saying that any material or object immersed in a fluid will tend to rise through the fluid if the fluid density is greater than the material density?
The force associated with buoyancy is the difference between the weight of the displaced fluid and the weight of the immersed material surely?

Density is the amount of and object (weight or mass) there is an a given
volume (the amount of water the object displaces).

So objects which weigh a lot and don't displace much water (have a low
volume) will sink, while objects which are light and displace a lot of water
will float.

The relationship, then is how well the object will float. If it floats, it
is less dense than water, and if it sinks it is more dense than water don't you think?

You might think something like a ship is more dense than water, after all,
it is made of metal which is certainly more dense than water, but, the ship
is filled with air, which is much less dense than water, and makes up the
difference. That is why, when a ship gets a hole in it, it sinks. The
water pushes out all the air and makes the total density of the ship
greater. When the water, metal, and air inside the ship become more dense than the water outside the ship, the ship will sink, which is amazing.
