Density is that property

Answer 2

ANSWER:

The property in which sinking and floating of a body is based upon is called as the density.

EXPLANATION:

The density can be defined as the entity which is interlinked with the volume and the mass. The density can also be defined as the ratio of mass to the volume. The floating and the sinking of the objects depend on the principle of archimedes.

Archimedes' principle defines when the upward force which is exerted on a substance immersed in a liquid, whether it is completely or partially submerged, is equal to the mass of the liquid that the "substance displaces" and acting in the direction which is upward at the mass center of the displaced liquid.
