Yea
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
It's all about density; figure out the density of the liquid and the density of the object. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. It's a matter of buoyancy and Archimedes' principle.
Buoyancy Difference in density.
greater density tends to less buoyancy

Density of the object and buoyancy of the water/liquid.
It's all about density; figure out the density of the liquid and the density of the object. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. It's a matter of buoyancy and Archimedes' principle.
Buoyancy Difference in density.
Archimedes principal states: 'An object immersed in a liquid will experience a buoyancy force equal to the mass of the liquid displaced by the object.' This can determine the density of any object.
The more denser an object the less buoyancy.(DrStrong) They are related through Archimedes' principle,FB = ρgVwhere FB is the buoyancy force, ρ is the density of the liquid, g is gravity, V is the volume of water displaced by the object (in other words, the volume of the object that lies underneath the water surface).If FB is greater than the weight of the object, the object will float upwards. If not, the object will sink downwards.So, the denser the liquid, the GREATER the buoyancy. However, the greater the object weight, the less the buoyancy. Another way to look at it is that the object itself has a volume and density, the product of which is the weight. So if a totally submerged object has less density than the liquid, it will be buoyant. If it has greater density than the liquid, it will sink.
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
greater density tends to less buoyancy
If the average density of an object is less than water (1.0 g per mL) it will float in water, and if it is more than 1.0g/mL it will sink in water. So the lower the density, the greater the buoyancy.
The upthrust depends on the volume of object if volume is more the liquid displaced will be more and the force per unit area will increase and density is equal to mass per unit volume so by density the buoyancy.
An object with lower density than the liquid will float, one with more density will sink. Anything with the same density will stay at the depth where it is placed. If it is placed half submerged it would sink until submerged.
