If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.

How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense then water?
Put it in water. If it floats, it's less dense. If it sinks, it's more dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more dense or less dense?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
put it in water see if it sinks
How can you determine whether a solid substance is more dense or less dense than water?
see if it floats, if it floats it is less dense.
How can you determine whether a solid object is more or less dense than water?
If its less it floats on the surface of the liquid. If its more it will sink to the bottom.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How can you determine whether a solid is less or more dense than water?
Gauge its buoyancy. Put it in the water. objects that are less dense will float while objects that are more dense sink.
Can a solid object float on air?
If it less dense
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
How do you determine the volume of solids that float on the water?
You can either:try the displacement method with a fluid which is less dense than water, ormeasure the volume of a very dense object (which will sink), attach this object to the given solid and find their combined volume. The difference between the two volumes is the required answer.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
What is one practical way to determine that solid water is less dense than liquid water?
density
