To be neutrally boyant in water, the object needs to have the same overall density as the water, 1 g/cc. This means that the objects material will have to be a similar density to water, or it would have to be made up of different materials which may be dense or less dense, but have an total overall density that's equivilant to water. Some spoons and plastic utensils could be very close, but you could always consider a full can of beer or plastic bottle of juice - where the fluid inside has a similar density to water, while the air trapped inside may just counteract the higher density material that the vessel is made from.

What object floats in the middle of water?
what object will not sink or float but will stay suspended in the middle of water
Is an object neutrally buoyant when it displaces an amount of water less than its own weight?
No, it sinks
How does the buoyant force affect a submerged object?
If the weight of the object is higher than the buoyant force the object SINKS. And the opposite happens if the weight is lower than the buoyant force. If it is equal, the object neither sink nor float, it is neutrally buoyant.
How is buoyant force and displacement related?
buoyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in. if a fluid is displaced by the volume of an object, the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on that object
What scientific rule states that the buoyant force an an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Since the object is submerged, we know that the buoyant force is not sufficient to overcome the weight of the object, otherwise it would be floating rather than being submerged. Therefore, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, not the weight of the object itself.
What is an object that won't float or sink in water?
neutrally buoyant

How to make something neutrally buoyant?
Figure out the weight of the device (ROV, submarine,etc), and then the weight of the water displaced. When they are equal, the device is neutrally buoyant. However, usually engineers create a ROV with a slightly positive or negative bouyancy, personally I perfer a positivly buoyant ROV because if you lose power or the tether is cut the ROV will ascend back up to the top. A more simple answer is that when the gravity & buoyancy are equal it is neutrally buoyant
Why does a rock has to sink?
A rock sinks because it is not buoyant. Buoyancy is whether or not something floats in water. There are three levels of buoyancy; buoyant, neutrally buoyant, and not buoyant. When something is buoyant, that means it has a lower density than water, causing it to float. When something is neutrally buoyant, that means it has roughly the same density as water, causing it to float half way between the bottom and the surface. Finally, when something is not buoyant (like a rock), that means that it has a higher density than water, causing it to sink to the bottom.
What effect does buoyancy have on items?
the effect that buoyancy has on items is floating, if the particular item floats it is positively buoyant, if it sinks it is negatively buoyant, if it neither floats or sinks it is neutrally buoyant. hope this helps!!
How do submarines stay in the water without sinking or submerging?
they are neutrally buoyant. they have ballast tanks to achieve this
When an object floats the buoyant force is the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
When an object floats the buoyant force is what the weight of the object?
If the object is floating, then the buoyant force is equal to the object's weight.
Does the weight of an object immersed in a buoyant liquid affect the buoyant force on the object?
It is not the weight of the immersed object but the volume of the object would affect the buoyant force on the immersed object because the buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid whose volume is equal to that of the immersed object.
Does the swim blather of a fish generally keep the fish positively neutrally or negatively buoyant?
no that never happens Yes.
