Quote from my coworker "gravity doesn't exist, it's the density that drags stuff down" he would look at this and think he is right

Is he a flat-earther?

Yes, he believes the world is coin shaped and that's why it looks like a globe when you take a pic from space >.<

It's "specific gravity" that keeps the items at their layer.
DarthFutuza

Velocinipple
What is specific gravity?
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Specific gravity is density. It connotates that "density" is density regardless of the magnitude of gravity i.e. this works on the moon too.
giddyupmusic
Also measured in urine to determine ones hydration or in some cases kidney failure, Diabetes Insipidus
Molder12
Ratio of the density of a fluid compared to the density of water(usually water)
TheTurianCandidate
Exactly what was explained above. Another way to say "relative density"
Velocinipple
Interesting, I'd never heard thattermbefore
waterevencats
Yes. If that value is greater than 1 that object will sink... less than one it'll float
Nightcaste
That depends on the fluid.
krillin123499
What are the liquids and what are the objects
TheTurianCandidate
Liquids: Syrup, coloured water, sunflower oil. Objects: metal nut, grape, bottle cap, sponge.

0/10 Would not drink.
TheOneWhoCalls
Obviously you've never been in a frat
PBCheetah
I think it's just Honey, Dyed Water, and Vegetable Oil, so I think it would be ok to drink.
YELLOWnotYELLOW
so 10/10 you would drink? courageous!
blueknot
That's not how it works, the numeric rating and the English repeat the same idea. 0 of 10 stars = would not.
MAYORofTITTYciti
If you want to drink it that bad then you should post a video when you do.
ScumCommander
With my debt? I'll take it.
AliBarber
So what you're saying is you'd definitely drink it
blueknot
No... do you not understand how ratings work?
AliBarber
It's like people saying "I could care less" rather than "I couldn't care less". The values are back to front.

Gravity? Viscosity? isn't it just density?

Maybe the grape eventually sinks but the yellow thing is way too viscous.

Flat earthers be like, "this is 100% PROOF"
SFMGifs
And buoyancy?
TheOneTrueNerd
Or is it surface tension?
wwny
Yep. A viscosity experiment would show how much the object slows as it falls through the fluid.
pilojo
Technically gravity is involved, too. But yeah, it's just a simple density issue.
SIRTOXIC13
Gravity is always involved, we're on earth.
lokitoki81
Gravity has never been proven. Its only a theory. Density however is proven
Idontgetjokes
I sincerely hope you are a troll.
ampixii
My density has popped me to you
StaticVoidFalafel
Mainly density. But Part of it is viscosity. There is a chance one of these objects have higher density than the fluid and still float
AnEvenDirtierSmellierHippy
Yea. Gravity vs viscosity could be demonstrated by pitch drop experiment though.

Density only has meaning in the context of gravity (or some other external force), but you're right.
ItWasCool
Just buoyancy
AdmJota
In fact, you could even say it's gravity vs. gravity: which does gravity pull down more, the orange liquid or the grape?
stewpedasole
Your mom's density.
OhJesus
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
damnyuoautocorrect
Gravity might always win. Yeah, I think this was more density vs viscosity
Mousinator11
Can a liquid have low density and high viscosity or vice versa?
sharK11
How do you think they make chicken pot pie?
SomewhatOxygenated
Honey is hella viscious when it's cold, but less so when it's hot. It's density doesn't change much with temperature though.

KuldFyt
I'm not so well versed in proper liquids, but I can tell you biological tissues can change viscosity by magnitudes without changing density.

Cronos51101
Cold gear oil or bearing grease is pretty darn viscous, but still less dense than water.
woodjoiner
And mercury is crazy dense but has half the viscosity of milk but a little more than water
Cronos51101
Huh, I didn't guess Hg had a low viscosity. I always assumed it was thick. I worked at a foundry and figured only hot metal was thin. TIL...
IronRod
Yeah, even cold olive oil will be almost solid but still floats on water.
wadenelson1
absolutely. like liquified gasses.

GrrrGiraffe
If he ran an experiment on the speed of falling it would be viscosity, and pretty cool. But you're right, this is just density.
KuldFyt
Viscosity would be if he pushed the same object through at different speeds how much the resistance changes.
GrrrGiraffe
Yep.
myUsernameWasAlreadyTakenAndIHaveAcceptedMyFate
Density would play a role as well. An object would fall through a liquid quicker the less dense that liquid is
GrrrGiraffe
Oil is less dense than water, but more viscous. Some objects will definitely fall faster through water than oil, even though water is (1)
Hamncheezsandwich
There is no correlation between density and viscosity. If there were, gold would take its sweet time sinking in mercury, which it does not.
GrrrGiraffe
more dense. (2)
RdizzyC
It's not JUST density, as you can have a liquid like mercury, insanely dense, far more dense than a human body, but a human could not float.
GrrrGiraffe
I used the language the original commenter used. But when it comes to whether this is a gravity v. viscosity experiment or a density (1)
GrrrGiraffe
Yes there are other things it demonstrates too, but they weren't on the list of suggested (or asked about) things. (5)
GrrrGiraffe
demonstration is a DENSITY demonstration. Comparing the density of the different liquids and the objects that float on the liquids of (3)
GrrrGiraffe
different densities. So, when it comes down to gravity, density, and viscosity, this particular demonstration looks at just density. (4)
GrrrGiraffe
experiment, this is a density experiment. Gravity is a given, and no one is looking at the speed at which these things fall. This (2)
GrrrGiraffe
Also, given enough liquid mercury, it seems likely a human body would float. You have to have enough of it though. (6)
RdizzyC
I mean a human would not float on top of the mercury. You would sink to at least your waist (standing up) before you started to float.
GrrrGiraffe
But you'd start to float at some point.
sharK11
Technically you also need gravity for this.
Leonon
You could also just use centrispinny force.
aberry9036
Yep
GrrrGiraffe
True.
Hamncheezsandwich
That could also measure buoyancy.
onelongrunonword
Or surface tension
GrrrGiraffe
If you're looking at the objects being dropped through the liquid and not the liquids themselves, then yes.
waterevencats
Is bouyant force equals volume of fluid displaced by object
GrrrGiraffe
No. Volume of the object is equal to the volume of the fluid displaced by the object.
GrrrGiraffe
Bouyant force is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
GrrrGiraffe
But again, you're looking at the object, not necessarily different liquids like this gif does.
