Question 885939: A metal soap dish barely floats in water. A bar of Ivory soap floats in water. When the soap is stuck in the metal soap dish, The combination sinks. Why ? Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The metal soap dish has a density that is barely below the density of water. The soap has a density that's much less than the density of water.
Combined, the density of the two exceed the density of water. This makes the combination sink.
