What conditions must be met in terms of density of a body for it to float submerged in water?
A body whose total density is greater than that of water will sink in water;that is, if it's not supported, it will continuously drift lower.A body whose total density is less than that of water will float in water; that is,it will sink only partially, and will then remain on the surface and sink no lower.A body whose total density is exactly equal to that of water will have "neutral buoyancy",and will "float submerged" so to speak. That is, none of it will remain above the surface,but once submerged, it will neither rise nor sink further, but will maintain the depth at whichit is placed.
