Question

StateArchimedes Principal . Why does an object float or sink in water..

Answer 1

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object willsink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed inWhen an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force, which is known as the buoyant force, that is proportional to the weight of the displaced liquid.
