Infer an object floats in a fluid.?

If an object floats in a fluid, it means that the weight of the object is equal to the buoyant force exerted by the fluid on the object. This equilibrium allows the object to remain suspended in the fluid without sinking or rising.

Which property of an object will never affect whether the object sinks or floats?

The color or surface texture of an object will never affect whether it sinks or floats. The buoyancy of an object is dependent on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is placed in.
