By definition, 1 gram of water will occupy one cubic centimeter. If the object to be floated on water weighs less per cubic centimeter it will float, and if it weighs more it will sink. *For an object to float in a liquid, it must have a lower density than the liquid. For example water has a density of one kilogram per litre and ice has a density of 0.9 kg/L, so ice floats; lead has a density of about 8-9 kg/L, so it will float in Mercury (density of somwhere between 15 and 20 kg/L; please correct if you have the data).

How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
Why does a dense object float in the Dead Sea?
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
When should an object float into a liqud?
An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.
An object that does not sink in water?
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
If an object is less dense than the liquid it is put into it will?
It will sink in the fluid. It will sink in the fluid.
How dense must an object be to float in the water?
Less dense than the water.
What 2 factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
The density of the object and the density of the liquid. The object must be less dense than the liquid to float.
The ability of an object to float on a fluid is influenced by?
density. A less dense object will float on a more dense liquid.
How dense does water have to be for an object to float?
Denser than the object.
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
What is the relationship between object density the liquid density and the tendency of the object to float?
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
If an object is less dense than water will it float or sink?
It will float.
How does density affect an object to float?
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
What will an object less dense then water do when placed in water float or sink?
float
Will an object that has a density of 0.5gmcubed will it float or sinkfloat or sink?
Any submerged object that have less dense than the water it will float. Therefore your submerged object probably will float because it has less dense than the water. I hope my answer helped you.=)
How does an object's density determine whether the object will sink or float in water?
the simple rule is that if your density is higher than the substance it will sink and if it is lower it will float density= mass divided by volume. Example:Mass 7.5g Volume:2cm3 so 7.5 Divided by 2= 3.75g/cm3 that is your density of object
Can a solid object float on air?
If it less dense
