How is shape and design important in deciding if an object will float?

Shape and design control the space throughout which the objects weight is distributed. If all the weight is in one cpot, like a wooden ball, the the ball will sink, as it easily displaces the water. If the wood is instead in the shape of a board, then the weight is spread out, allowing it to float easier.

How will you determine if an object will sink or float?
Archimedes principle: the buoyant force on a submerged object will be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.Basically if the object is more dense than the fluid it is put into, it will sink, if it is less dense, it will float.The density of an object and its shape and its design are important in deciding whether it will sink or float.
When an object float what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
Is it true that object with large mass float?
Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
When an object floats what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
What most influences whether or not an object will float?
An object's density influences its buoyancy, thus determining whether or not an object will float
Why does float exist and what effect would electronic funds transfer systems have on float?
[object Object]
What will the density of any object be if they want that object you to float?
An object will float in water if its density is lower than water which means that for an object to float, its density needs to be less than ~1 gram/centimeter^3,
