That is the reason why the whole thing would fall over, not why the green object sinks inside.Meteor73 said:
Sorry, do you mean water in both pipes will fall, and vacuum creates at top??A.T. said:
He left out the clamps for the experiment in the diagram. Did we not automatically take that into account? If the possibility of toppling was meant to be discussed, wouldn't there have been a table top in the diagram?A.T. said:

Thanks Sophie, this is not the scope of the experiment. We can assume the pipe structure is well fixed, and just focus on what happen inside the pipe.The answer depends on the density of the object and the density of the water. If the object is more dense than the water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the water, it will float. The color of the object does not affect its buoyancy.
The density of the object is the main factor in determining whether it will sink or float in water. Objects with a higher density will sink, while those with a lower density will float.
Yes, a sealed water-filled pipe can affect the buoyancy of a dense green object. If the pipe is filled with a liquid that is more dense than the object, it will increase the object's buoyancy and make it more likely to float. On the other hand, if the pipe is filled with a less dense liquid, it will decrease the object's buoyancy and make it more likely to sink.
Yes, the shape of the object can affect its buoyancy in a sealed water-filled pipe. Objects with a larger surface area will displace more water and be more likely to float, while objects with a smaller surface area will displace less water and be more likely to sink.
The density of the water is crucial in determining the buoyancy of an object. If the water is more dense than the object, it will provide more upward force and make the object more likely to float. If the water is less dense than the object, it will provide less upward force and make the object more likely to sink.
