In order to float in water you would need to be more buoyant than the water. Since the mass is only one factor of density, which determines the buoyancy of the object, we would need to find out its volume.
The density of water is 1gram/cubic-centimeter at 60 degrees. Since we need the "object" to be less dense than water we need to solve the following equation:
1>33250g/"x"cm^3 and we solve for x to be anything larger than 33250 cubic centimeters. Anything at least that large with a mass of 33250g will float in water.

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.
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 can float in the water?
Many things can float in water. An object will float based on 2 main factors. They are density and shape. If an object is too dense, it will sink. But why would shape matter? The shape of the object affects how the water is displaced. If the weight of the water displaced is more than the weight of the object that is touching the water, the object will float. So the shape affects how much water is displaced therefore determines if an object will float.
How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
Is it true that when the weight of an object is less than the density of water that object the object will float?
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?
float
What determines if an abject will float or sinkin water?
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float.
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,
How is it possible to predict if an object will sink or float based on density of the object?
If an object is less dense then water, it will float assuming the object does not absorb the water there by increasing its density.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
What allows objects to float on water?
An object will float on water if it has less density than water.
What are the objects that can float on water?
Any object that is less dense than water will float.
