Usually the density of floating object will be less than that of the liquid in which it is floating. But exception is that ship made up of iron will float in less dense water. Becasue a large amount of water will be displaced due to the specific construction of the ship. The weight of the displaced water will be more than the floating ship.

To predict if the object will float or sink in water, compare the mass to the volume. If themass is larger, the object will sink. If the volume is larger, the object will float. ... If the density is greater than 1g/cm3, the object will sink.

The mass and size of the molecules in a liquid and how closely they are packed together determine the density of the liquid. Just like a solid, the density of a liquid equals the mass of the liquid divided by its volume; D = m/v. The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter.

How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
What is the difference between floating and sinking objects and the density of the liquid they are in?
a boat floats
What makes objects more or less buoyant than other objects?
Their mass (and the density of the fluid they're floating in).

How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
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.
What causes sinking?
Density. Objects that are more dense than other less dense objects will sink below them. This is how floating works, as well.
What are floating objects?
Floating Objects are objects that are less densethan water.
How do you find the density of floating objects?
Density: is when something has alot of weight, and obviously is very heavy Floating: is when something is light and is not as dense
What influence will the size of the surface and the mass of a floating object have on the floating ability of the object?
The density is important; for floating an object must have a density under the water density (1 g/cm3).
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or the lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
