This weekend me and my friends decided to go to the beach. We went to Kahala beach and to our surprise there was a floating island in the water! We decided to go onto it. We wondered if it would sink if too many of us were on it, but i thought otherwise because of what i learned in Physics class this week. i learned that the only way something will sink in the water is if its density is greater than 1000 kg/m cubed. I figured that there was no way this was possible because the island was filled with air in the middle and air does not have a greater density than water. My friend who is only in chemistry said otherwise and he wanted to bet me that i was wrong. i took that bet with confidence because i knew that Mr. Heyler would never lie to me. when all of us sat on the island it didnt sink so now i am ten dollars richer, all thanks to physics.
