Does an object in water sink or float?

It is because some things have air in them. A sponge has air in it so it would float. a pair of socks would soon soak up all of the water and sink. __________ It really is complicated. Some objects float mainly because of their shape; you could float a glass bowl on water if it has a stable enough shape, but a sphere of glass with the same mass as the bowl would obviously sink. Many of the materials in an ocean liner would sink, including the materials that make up the hull and basic inner structure, if they were formed into spheres. But not all substances would sink even if formed into solid spheres. Such an object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density (specific gravity) of the water. It will float if it is less dense than the water.
