What would happen if an object is immersed in a fluid and the object and the fluid had the same density?

The object would behave as a part of fluid and it will remain where it is kept.

What actually affect buoyant force?
-- volume of the object immersed in fluid -- density of the fluid in which the object is immersed
What will happen if a solid object immersed in a fluid weighs more than the volume of the fluid displaced by the solid?
Then the solid object has a greater density and will sink.
Does the tendency for an object to sink or float have to do with the object's density?
Yes. The object will sink if its density is greater than the fluid it is placed in.
What is the floatation formula?
Formula for Buoyant Mass m(b) m(b) = m(object) x (1- (p(fluid)/ p(object))) m(object)= true mass of the object p(object)= average density of the object p(fluid)= average density of the surrounding fluid If the fluid density is greater than the average density of the object, the object floats. If less, the object sinks. Formula for Buoyant Force: F(buoyant) = -pVg p = density of the fluid V = volume of the object being submerged g = standard gravity on Earth (~ 9.81 N/kg) Archimedes Principle: "When a solid body is partially or completely immersed in water, the apparent loss in weight will be equal to the weight of the displaced liquid." Formula for Density of immersed object relative to the density of the fluid object is immersed in: Relative Density = Weight / (Weight - Apparent Immersed Weight)
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?
If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD
Is density is a measure of how much heat there is in a volume of a substance?
"Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a stationary fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." (Archimedes) And this is independent on the heat.
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 immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Archimedes' principle
An upward force on an object immersed in a fluid?
Buoyant force
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.
