Question

Why
do things float
or sink in water.​

Answer 1

Answer:

An object floats when the weight force on the object is balanced by the upward push of the water on the object. ... If the weight force down is larger than the upward push of the water on the object then the object will sink. If the reverse is true then the object will rise – rising is the opposite of sinking.
