The the object you speak of is in water at approximately room temperature, then anything with a density above about 1 will sink; anything below 1 will float and anything at very close will be suspended in the water. So, to answer your question, high density equals sinking.

How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher 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.
How can you use the density of an object to predict weather it will sink or float?
if the density of the object was higher than 1 then it will sink if less than 1 it will float in water....
How is density related to floatation?
If an object has lower density than the fluid then it will float. If it has higher density then it will sink.
What causes something to sink or float?
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
Why do some objects float or sink in water?
It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.
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.
How do objects sink or float?
Objects sink or float depending on their Mass and density. If the object has a Density LOWER than water, it will float. Higher than water will sink. You can find density by multiplying its Mass times its Volume, there you have its density. Water has a Density of 1, things with lower may sink, only slightly if there isn't much difference.
How can one predict whether an object will float or sink in a liquid?
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
How can you use density to determine whether an object will float or sink?
If any object has a density higher that 1 it will sink because water has a density of exactly 1. If the density is less than 1 it will float. Here is the formula for density...D=m/v or density equals mass over volume.
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 affects how an object sink and float in water?
the density of the object
