Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
a boat floats
They all have densities greater than the density of the fluid in which they are sinking. The mass of the displaced liquid is less than the mass of the sinking body.

They all have densities greater than the density of the fluid in which they are sinking. The mass of the displaced liquid is less than the mass of the sinking body.
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
Density. Objects that are more dense than other less dense objects will sink below them. This is how floating works, as well.
Normally you can assume that the density of the liquid won't change much; nor the density of the sinking object. Therefore, the buyant force won't change significantly.
If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
An objects density is determined by its' weight and volume.
