If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
the volume of the instrument
A short piece may be supported by the surface tension of water, but a coil of copper wire would sink.
What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
does Arsenic float or sink
It depends on the density and if it has a hole or something.
