A submerged object will displace its own volume of the liquid it is submerged in.
The object's own weight is pulling it down.
Yes. A floating object displaces its own mass in water.
If the object, when submerged in water, displaces a volume of water whose mass is greater than its own, then it will float. The density of the material from which it is made is not the key as can be seen from the fact that ships made of metal will float.
Step 1: Weight Object Step 2: Submerge object in a volumetric piece of glassware noting the volume before and after submerging. You can subtract the two volume values to determine the volume of the object--since it will displace it's own volume while submerged. Divide mass of object by the volume of water the object displaces to get the density. If this is that more involved question involving the density of the object and distance traveled over time let me know, I can solve that one too!
buoyancyAn object that displaces its own weight in water is said to be "floating".
mass of fluid, weight of fluid, density of fluid.
Two answers to this: 1. If the object floats on the fluid, then it displaces its own mass in fluid. 2. If the object sinks, it will displace its own volume in fluid.

Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.

No, it sinks
If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.

It displaces both it's own volume of water and weight of water.
