Question

When you increase the volume and keep the mass constant, is the object more likely to sink or float?

Answer 1

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

Answer 2

When the volume of the object is increased by keeping the mass constant, the object will tend to float.

Explanation:

• When volume is increased, the total surface area of the object will be increased.
• The density of the object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and when mass remains constant, the density will also remain constant.
• When the volume of the object stands higher than density, the object will float rather than sinking.
• The floating capacity of any object is determined by its volume occupied and the surface enclosed by the object in the air.
• Therefore, when volume increases, the object will get higher chances of floating.
