Question

boiled potato ice cubes float above water​

Answer 1

Question : Do boiled potatoes and ice cubes float on water?

Answer :

It depends upon the density of the object. If the density of the object mass/volume is greater than that of the water or the solvent, then we can say that it will sink.

Boiled potatoes have a greater mass and volume compared to a tumbler of water. Hence it sinks. Ice cubes are less dense and they can easily turn into liquid, hence they float, losing their mass consistently.
