A cork floats on the surface of the water because of two reasons firstly its density is less than water and secondly it have some tiny holes that are filled with air which helps it to float on the water’s surface.
Cork is a substance (non metal) that grows as a bark of the Cork Oak tree and it always floats on the surface of the water because of two reasons :
>> Its surface has tiny pockets that are filled with air and it helps it to float on the surface of the water.
>> According to a scientific law, If the density of an object is less than water than it will float on its surface and the cork’s density is less than the water. Hence it always floats on the surface of the water.
A cork floats on top of water because it is filled with air, cork is not solid, although has small pockets that grasp air it is less dense than water. Objects that are less dense than water will float on the water’s surface.
becouse the differance in denisty between it
