An object will float if it has less density than the fluid it is placed in.
Floating is the result of the fact that there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the floating object, than at the top.

Is floating in salt water an example of bernoulli's principle?
No. It's an example of Archimedes' principle.
What are the conditions to a object to sink?
Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced
Will Archimedes' principle holds in a freely falling body?
Archimedes' principle refers to an object floating in a liquid. In this case, there is the downward force of gravity on the object, and the "buoyant force" as upward force. This is quite unrelated to "free fall", which means that no other forces than gravity act on an object.
State the principle of floatation?
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.
If an object floats in water what can you conclude about its density relative to water?
In general the density of the floating object has to be less than that of water. BUt it is not always necessary to be so. Even dense material could be shaped in such a way it could float on water. The main thing is that the weight of the displaced water has to be more than that of the floating object. This is Archimedes principle.
Is floating in salt water an example of bernoulli's principle?
No. It's an example of Archimedes' principle.
Which of the following does Archimedes' principle help to explain?
Floating
What is the name for the principle that brings floating crust into gravitational balanace?
Isostasy
How do you define principle?
Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.
How do you define Archimedes principle?
Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid.
D the floating of cork in water what is the principle behin?
the density of the cork is lower than the density of the water- so it floats.
What is Archimedes force?
Archimedes's principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object immersed or floating in a fluid equals the weight of the fluid displaced.

How is an iceberg floating in the ocean affected by water pressure and buoyant force?
An iceberg floating in the ocean is affected by the water pressure and buoyant force on the basis of the Archimedes' principle. This dictates that a volume of a liquid must supported by the pressure of a surrounding liquid.Ê
How does hydrogen keep an airship afloat?
Hydrogen is lighter than air, making it buoyant, because air is a fluid. It works on the same principle as floating wood.
How does Archimedes principle explain the floating or sinking of an object?
just shut up. understand it. because i am asking this answere from you. andyou O.....h god how disgusting
What is the Archimedes theory of floating?
Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid. For more general objects, floating and sunken, and in gases as well as liquids (i.e. a fluid), Archimedes' principle may be stated thus in terms of forces: Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
