What conditions must be met in terms of density of a body for it to float submerged in water?
A body whose total density is greater than that of water will sink in water;that is, if it's not supported, it will continuously drift lower.A body whose total density is less than that of water will float in water; that is,it will sink only partially, and will then remain on the surface and sink no lower.A body whose total density is exactly equal to that of water will have "neutral buoyancy",and will "float submerged" so to speak. That is, none of it will remain above the surface,but once submerged, it will neither rise nor sink further, but will maintain the depth at whichit is placed.
If you fill up a sink with water does it appear deeper or shallower?

Why don't people sink in water?
If you breathe in before going under water then you float beacuse you are filled with light air. Otherwise, if you blow out while going under then you sink. All of the air is expelled out of you body. For example: if a balloon is aired up it will float when it pops its will sink if all of the air is out.
Will an object with holes bob up and down in the water or will it sink if it floated before you put holes in it?
It depends on the boyancy of the material and the location of the holes. A ship holed below the waterline will sink. A body board with holes in will float.

When will a drowned body float?
Generally what happens is that after drowning and floating for a day or so, a body will sink for a few days until gases due to decomposition make it float again. Part of this also depends on the temperature of the water. The warmer the water, the quicker this process happens.In either case, a forensic doctor will be able to determine when the 'drowned body' first became drowned, and you won't get away with your crime.
How long does it take a body to float after drowning?
None. As the human body contains a considerable amount of fat (which is lighter than water) it will float immediately. A more interesting question would be "How long does it take for a drowned body to sink?"
