∙ 11y agoFloating objects have a lower density than the liquid they are in, causing them to float. Sinking objects have a higher density than the liquid, causing them to sink. The density of the liquid determines whether an object will float or sink based on the relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density.
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.

The relationship between mass and volume of a liquid is described by its density. Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. Therefore, the greater the volume of a liquid for a given mass, the lower its density, and vice versa.
The object will float if its density is less than the density of the liquid. If the object's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the densities are equal, the object will remain suspended at a specific level in the liquid.
An object will sink in a liquid if its density is higher than that of the liquid. Conversely, an object will float in a liquid if its density is lower than that of the liquid. The relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density determines whether it will sink or float.
The buoyancy force acting on an object is determined by the difference in density between the object and the liquid. If the density of the liquid is greater, the object will float; if the density of the liquid is lower, the object will sink. The higher the density of the liquid, the greater the buoyant force acting on the object.
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. An object will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid it is placed in. This is because objects with lower density than the liquid will be buoyed upwards by the liquid, allowing them to float.
A liquid's buoyancy is determined by its specific gravity (density).
The density of the liquid determines the buoyant force acting on an object placed in it. If the object is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. The relationship between the density of the object and the density of the liquid affects how much of the object is submerged and the magnitude of the buoyant force.
