The mass divided my the volume determine the density of an object
The formula for density is an object's mass, divided by its volume. If you have both those quantities, you can determine the object's density.
The formula for density is: mass divided by the volume of the object
Mass = Density Volume
density=mass divide by volume

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 density of the object (mass/volume) compared to the density of the liquid.
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
To determine the density of an object, you need its mass and volume. If the object is oddly shaped, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced when thee object is submerged in a container of water.
The weight does not determine if an object will float in water. If an object has a DENSITY that is more than the density of water then it will sink, if it's density is less than the density of water it will float.
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
