Its density compared to the density of the fluid.
It is based on the buoyancy of the object. This is affected by the amount of matter of the object per a certain area as opposed to the fliud. One example is the igneous rock pumice. As opposed to obsidian, another igneous rock, it floats on water. Its buoyancy allows it to float on water (one of the very few rocks that can float on water). So, it is based on the buoyancy, or the amount of matter in a certain area as opposed to the same amount of the liquid. the lighter and less dense the amount, the more it will float. If its density is high, it will sink, while a low density object will be more likely to float. (For example, a small foam block versus a brick of the same size. They take up the same amount of space and can be compared. The foam block floats due to its low density. Meanwhile the brick sinks because it is very dense.) so, in a short answer, buoyance, or the ability to float, is based on the density of an object.
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
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.
it will float providing it is in that fluidIt will float on the surface of the fluid.
An object will float in a fluid if it is less dense than that fluid, because the mass of that object displaces less of the fluid than is the volume of the object. An object denser than that fluid would continue to displace the fluid until it met something either solid or more dense.
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
An object would float on a fluid if the density of the object was less than the density of the fluid.
Density has its connection with buoyancy.The ability of an object to "float" when it is placed in a fluid is called buoyant force. If an object is less dense than the fluid in which it is placed, it will "float" on the fluid. If it is more dense than the fluid, it will "sink." For example: Metal ships can float because their total density is less than that of the water that they float on.

When the displaced fluid has a mass equal or greater than the mass of an object placed in the fluid, the object will float.
density of the object < density of the fluid
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
The object's density relative to the fluid. If the object is denser than the fluid it will float; if it is less dense it will sink.

It is the ability for an object to float. Buoyancy determines if the object is able to float in the water or not.Buoyancy can not only happen in water, other fluids are not prohibited. Buoyancy can depend on the fluid's density.If something is not or barely able to float, it is less buoyant.If something can float with little or no effort, it is more buoyant.
