For an object to sink in a fluid there must be an unbalanced force?
The weight of the fluid displaced has to equal the object's weight for the object to float. If there is not a balance between these two forces then the object will sink.
Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
What will determines if an object will float or sink in a fluid?
density
Determines wether an object will sink or float in a fluid?
The object's density.If less than the density of the fluid, the object floats.If more than the density of the fluid, the object sinks.
What determines whether an object will sink or float in fluid?
density
If an object 's density is greater than the density of a fluid it?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
What determines whether an object will sink or float in a fuild?
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.
How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.

The weight of the fluid displaced has to equal the object's weight for the object to float. If there is not a balance between these two forces then the object will sink.
What happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid?
The object will sink in the fluid.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
