When will an object float on a fluid's surface?
To be straight in answering,I would write that if that particular object has its density nearly equal to the density of fluid displaced by its submerged part then only the object will be likely to float in the fluid.
If an object's density is is less than that of the fluid what will happen?
it will float providing it is in that fluidIt will float on the surface of the fluid.
How is the density of a floating object relate to the density of the fluid it is floating in?
If an item floats, Then it is less dense than the liquid it floats in. One can prove this using bernoulli's equation. To determine the weight of the floating object, take the volume of water displaced by the portion of the object below the fliud surface then multiply that by the density of the fluid. This process gives you the bouyant force on the floating object and therefore the weight. Then take that weight and divide it by the total volume of the. Object to get its density. Also note that if an item is suspended below the surface but. Above the bottom of the fluid body, then the item and fluid have equal density. If the item sinks to the bottom it has higher density than the fluid.
Is the buoyant force caused by the increase in density in depth fluid?
Buoyancy is proportional to fluid density but the question seems to imply density increasing with depth. Gases such as the atmosphere behave in that way. Liquids do not because they are to all intents and purposes incompressible. A cubic metre of water in Lake Baikal would still have a mass of 1Tonne whether at the surface or down at the bottom.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.

Why does water pressure increase with surface area and fluid density?
the greater the surface the greater the volume of water thus more preassure
Does the pressure vary according to the density of a fluid?
tellme something about pressure of fluids

What are the factors that affect viscosity?
Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.

If an object has the same density as the fluid it is submerged in the object will always?
Will always float with the top surface level with the water
What do convection currents form?
because of differences in pressure and density in a fluid
What forms because of differences in temperature and density of a fluid?
convection currents
Why does the density of an incompressible fluid remains constant?
In incompressible fluid density is same because velocity gradient is same on every layer of liquid at any cross section.
