If the density of an object is less than that of water it will float. If it had a higher density it would sink. Since water has a specific gravity very close to 1 (it is exactly 1.000 at 4 °C but slightly less at other temperatures) an object with a specific gravity of 1 would sink. The mass of the water it would displace would be less than the mass of the object so the buoyancy forces would not be sufficient to let it float.
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the object, the object will sink. This is because the liquid is denser and exerts a greater buoyant force on the object, causing it to sink until it reaches an equilibrium point where the buoyant force equals the gravitational force.
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
Yea
If an object placed in water sinks - then it has a density greater than water.
an object will float on a denser liquid
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
An object with greater density than the liquid it is placed will tend to sink
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.

An object floats in water if the object's density is less than water's...Conversely, an object will sink if it's density is greater than that of water.
It will sink when the object is placed in water.
Yea
