If your numerator (the mass of the substance) is larger than the denominator (the volume of the substance), then your object will sink because your ratio will be greater than one. Meaning, your volume isn't great enough to displace the fluid in which it rests. Any density less than 1 g/mL floats; any density greater than 1 g/mL will sink.
Those with more density are placed last. Those with more density sink. Think, light things float because they are less dense than the water.
1. The density of mercury is 13 534 kg/m3.2. Mercury sink in water.
In water, it could be any substance really with the same density of water, in which case would simply drift within the water body. Floating is caused when the substance is less dense than water, while sinking is caused when the substance is more dense than water. An equivalent density would be your answer.
sink
float
A substance with a density of 1.3gcm-3 would sink in water. Float (APEX)

Any object with a density greater than 1.0 gmcm3.
When poured into water glycerol also a liquid falls to the bottom of the beaker
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
Whether a substance will float or sink in another substance.
density
Float or sink... in what? Look up the density of caesium, and the density of whatever liquid you want to place it in, and compare. The general rule is that a substance will sink if its density is greater than the liquid (or gas) you place it in.
Density. An object will float in a substance if its density is less than the density of the substance. The density of water is 1 kg /L or 1 g/ cm3. Anything with a density less than this will float.
A substance that has more density than the liquid will sink. With less density, it will float.
