What force cause objects to float when the weight is greater than a buoyant force?

If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.

How does Archimedes' principle relate the buoyant force acting on an object to the fluid displaced by the object?
Well, as an object is in a fluid, it displaces the water and more of one or more different objects same or different will cause more water displacement.
What is the weight of an object that is immersed in 100 ft of salt water?
There is really no way to answer the question definitively. It can only be answered in general, theoretical terms. Since you didn't mention the VOLUME of the object, we cannot determine the amount of salt water it displaced. The object's weight would be reduced by an amount equal to the weight of the water displaced. Further, since we don't know the density of the salt water -- salt water is denser than fresh water, and its density varies with salinity -- that further confounds the problem. First, Pascal's principle tells us that fluid pressure on a submerged object is exerted in all directions. But since fluid pressure increases with depth, the pressure on the bottom of the object is greater than on the top, so a net upward force -- buoyancy -- is created. Second, objects of equal volume will have the same buoyancy. (That is somewhat counter-intuitive, since many people assume that a rock will be less buoyant than, say, a similarly sized piece of cork.) The buoyant force opposes the object's weight, so submerged objects have lower effective weight than objects in air. If the buoyant force is greater than an object's real weight, it will rise; if not, it sinks. Third, since buoyancy is proportional to the volume of the submerged object, if the object compresses significantly as it reaches greater depth, its buoyancy will decrease and its effective or apparent weight will increase, which will cause it to sink farther.
What happens to the terminal velocity if the weight is greater?
Other things (the volume and shape) being equal, a greater weight would cause a greater terminal velocity.
Why does solid body weigh more in air than when immersed in a liquid?
the buoyant force of the liquid on the solid is more than the buoyant force of the air on the solid.
What are factors affecting upthrust?
upthrust=buoyant force=weight of the body immersed in d liquid so gravity and mass is a cause of upthrust as weight of a body=mass* gravity
What is the cause of buoyant force?
simply...UPTHRUST
Do weight cause gallstones?
People who are overweight, or who lose a large amount of weight quickly are also at greater risk for developing gallstones
What causes something to slow down?
The weight of the objects or due to the force
What will happen when an air filled balloon is pulled to the bottom of a swimming pool?
Because the pressure weighing down on the the balloon is greater than the pressure protruding from the balloon, the dominant force will cause the balloon to pop. This strictly depends on the amount in weight the water has on it, since the balloon can rise and become buoyant if not descended sufficiently.
What kind of objects can cause you to choke?
Small objects, like small fish bones, can cause you to choke.
If 2 balls are dropped from different floors of a building which ball has greater acceleration?
The one that was dropped from the higher floor cause freefalling objects get faster and faster with more flight time
Why is it more of a strain on the eye muscles to look at close objects than at far objects?
When looking at near objects your eyes constantly need to converge and accommodate. Using these muscles constantly will cause straining in the eyes. Looking at far objects, the eye do not need to converge and accommodate, straining the eye less.
