Question

discuss the concepts of floating and sinking​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\purple {\mathfrak{Bonjour Mate!}}$

Whether something floats depends on the material it is made of, not its weight.

Objects float if they are light for their size and sink if they are heavy for their size.

An object can be light for its size if it contains air, such as a hollow ball.

Materials with a boat shape will float because they effectively contain air.

Water pushes up on objects with an upthrust force.

Answer 2

Answer:

Float means to stay in the surface of water without drowning. Sinking means to fall below the surface of water.... ..

For example, the material alone does not stand alone in affecting whether an object floats or sinks. The shape, weight, volume, density, porosity and water displacement also factor in to its floating ability...
