If a object with little volume floats on water its density is less than water.But should consider to avoid effects of surface tension

What has more density water or human tissue?
Density is defined by how compact a particular substance is. In the case of the density of water verses the human body, your body is slightly less dense than water that is why humans can float.
Why can a person not float in fresh water but can in salt water what does that tell us about the density of salt water?
Salt water has higher density than the body of a person who floats on it, but the person's body may sink in less dense fresh water.
If a body is immersed in water will the weight of the body increase?
no it will decrease, if you piggy back someone in water you will see that the weight is lighter than usual
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.
Why the stone sinks in water?
it's because the density may be greater than the body of water that is why the stone sink...

Why is it easier to lift the body in liquid then in solid?
i think it's because liquids have less density than solids, and the body is lighter in liquid.
Why can you float?
the density of your body is lower than water....:)
Why does a human body float?
The uman body floats in water because its density is just under that of water.
Why the dead body float on water?
Many gases produce in body of human. When the man die the water enter the human body and there is no way for air to diffuse out of the human body .As the gasesare lighter so they try to diffuse out of the water due to this the dead body floats on water
Why can a person not float in fresh water but can in salt water what does that tell us about the density of salt water?
Salt water has higher density than the body of a person who floats on it, but the person's body may sink in less dense fresh water.
Why the human living body is drowning in the water but why dead body of the human is swimming on the surface of the water give the scientific reason?
There is oxygen in the body which is lighter than water thus the body rising up to the surface of the water

How does your body float on water?
Because...our body has density.The amount of mass in a certain volume of matter is a property called density...the density of our body is less than the water that is why we float on water.But it's just a little less!
When floating why do you tend to float lower in the water when you exhale?
Actually it is the change that affect both. We can float because our density is less denser than the density of the water in that place. Salt for example increases the density of water... But when you exhale, you lose air and sink lower because thanks to the air you ware floating a bit more, and so you will sink until a new density of your body is formed with the loss of that air and that density is "lower" than the first one. lower = deeper, because the difference between the density's isn't as great as it was. Just imagine an air balloon on water and compare it with a stone on the water. I hope this was helpful.
Does drinking water make your body lighter?
Drinking water is beneficial for the health. Also it will help in losing the weight.
If an object is buoyant in air is it buoyant in water?
Yes, since the density of air is less than the density of water, a buoyant object in air is buoyant in water. In any body of water that is exposed to the air, in fact, said object would escape the body of water entirely.
