If an object sinks in a fluid then it has a density greater than the fluid. This assumes the object is solid and not shaped like a boat.

How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?
Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.
Determines wether an object will sink or float in a fluid?
The object's density.If less than the density of the fluid, the object floats.If more than the density of the fluid, the object sinks.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.
Whether an object will sink or float?
To know this you first need to find the density of the object and the density of the fluid on which the the object shall be kept. If the density of the fluid is more than the object's density then the object will float. The object will sink if the reverse happens.

How can density be use to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
When you have the density of both the object and the fluid, just see which has a higher density. If the object has a higher density than the fluid, the object will sink. If the object has a lower density than the fluid, the object will float.
An object will float if?
density of the object < density of the fluid
What would cause and object to float on fluid?
An object would float on a fluid if the density of the object was less than the density of the fluid.
What property of matter is affected by sinking and floating of an object?
its density

What is fluid density?
it is the density of a fluid (the operation for finding the density of an object is mass divided by volume)
How does the density of an object tell you if it will sink or float?
If the object's density is greater than the density of the fluid you put it in, then it sinks. If less, then it floats in that fluid.
