What conditions must be met in terms of density of a body for it to float submerged in water?

A body whose total density is greater than that of water will sink in water;
that is, if it's not supported, it will continuously drift lower.
A body whose total density is less than that of water will float in water; that is,
it will sink only partially, and will then remain on the surface and sink no lower.
A body whose total density is exactly equal to that of water will have "neutral buoyancy",
and will "float submerged" so to speak. That is, none of it will remain above the surface,
but once submerged, it will neither rise nor sink further, but will maintain the depth at which
it is placed.

Explain in terms of density and Charles's law why heating the air allows a hot-air balloon to float?
i dont know this is my question
Why do Objects float or sink?
An object will float when submerged into liquid because its density is less than that of the liquid. As described in Archimedes' Principle, the buoyancy forces on an object will be equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. If the density of the object is less than that of the liquid, the weight of the liquid that would be displaced by the volume of the object will be greater than the weight of the object and the object will float. If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid it would displace when submerged, the object will sink.
What is the definition of density in scientific terms?
density is the ratio of a rocks mass.
Why do hings float better in salt water than freash water?
Things float better in salt water than fresh water due to the mass and density of the salt as opposed to that of the water. Sodium chloride (Being the classic "salt" people are familiar with) has a density of 2.165 grams per cubic centimeter, while water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Thus, when the two are mixed and the salt dissolves evenly throughout the solvent (water), the density increases. At least, in layman terms. Now, an object sinks in a fluid when the density of that object is greater than that of the fluid. Since fresh water has a density of 1, and salt water has some density greater than that (dependent upon how much salt is dissolved in it), then more objects will likely have a density greater than that of the less dense fluid (fresh water) than that of the more dense fluid (salt water) With that logic, fewer objects will have more density than that of salt water, and therefore, more things will float in it.
Why is bulk density a more meaningful figure than particle density in terms of practical agriculture?
anya met
What is density in everyday terms?
Density is how well an object would float when put into water. Water has a density of 1, so if the object floats, it's density is less then 1. If the object sinks, then it's density is greater then 1.
Why you are able to float easily using the terms density and buoyant force?
When the density of a object is less than that of the surrounding fluid, the buoyant force is great enough to move it up.

Do you say terms and conditions or term and conditions?
Terms and Conditions is correct.

What is a sailing craft that cannot be submerged?
"Unsinkable" is a contradiction of terms, as the "Titanic" proved.
What are the terms and conditions of Barclaycard?
Barclaycard has a very long list of terms and conditions for usage. Some of these terms and conditions include no warranty, no liability and the terms of governing law.
What is difference between terms and conditions?
Terms >>> implied terms conditions >> "do this and you'll get that" normally under a contract

Where can users find the terms and conditions of an agreement?
Usually the terms and conditions of an agreement are located throughout the agreement. The terms will be listed and if it is a contract there will be an area for you to sign the agreement showing that you acknowledge all of the aforementioned terms and conditions.
