What is the tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid?

The tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense, it will sink.

An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.

Can air support objects?

Objects less dense than air can float on air of that density. Air passing over objects (wings, kites, etc.) can provide lift and support the object. Air moving upwards at a speed equivalent to the terminal velocity of the object in the air stream will support the object. Solid air (frozen at -299oC if you don't care about the Helium or -270oC if you do) will support objects like any other solid.


Does mass affect whether or not an object will float?

no and mass is air


How much air volume is needed to float 1000 pounds?

To determine the volume of air needed to float an object, you need to know the density of air and the weight of the object. For example, if the density of air is approximately 0.075 lb/ft³, then to float a 1000-pound object, you would need approximately 13,333.33 ft³ of air (1000 lb / 0.075 lb/ft³ = 13,333.33 ft³).
