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.

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.
Would a substance float if its density is 1 gram per ml?
Less than that of the substance it is floating on.
Why does saltwater make an object float?
because th salt makes things float and George bush was the worst president
When the buoyant force is equal to the force of gravity an object will?
float in the fluid
Why might an object float in water?
Since density is proportional to it's mass and the ability to float is inversely proportional to it's volume, an object that's heavy will sink and an object that's light should float. An object that has some surface volume should float, while an object that has little surface volume should sink.
How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
Will a density of 2.7 float?
Is this the density of a liquid or an object? If this is the density of a liquid and you want to make an object float, than the density of the object should be less than 2.7. If this is the density of an object you are trying to make float, than the density of the liquid should be greater than 2.7.
When an object float what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
Would an object with a density of 85gmL float sink or be suspended?
you should know
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
What can you do to heavy objects to make them float?
An object can float on water only if its density is less than water.(Archimedes principle). So, to make an object float, its density should be low. For this purpose, its mass should be less and volume should be greater(d=m/v), so to make heavy objects to float, their volume should be as less as possible.

Is it true that object with large mass float?
Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
When an object floats what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
