As we know that the ratio of the density to the volume is inverse relation. As the volume of the object is lesser, than the density will be greater.So the condition of floating bodies depend upon the weight of the displaced liquid.If the object(needle) is denser,so it will not be able to displace more liquid.Therefore needle sinks in water.

A metal needle will sink in water, because it weighs more than the water does, and since it is not buoyant, it sinks.
What do you call when something hangs or sinks down low?
The needle is solid, it's density higher than water's. The ship is hollow, its overall density lower than water's.
Surface tension. Same phenomena that makes water form beads and droplets on some Surfaces acts like a skin on the water. If laid down gently, something like a needle can be carried by this skin. Soap destroys the Surface tension - one of the reasons why soap helps in getting things Clean - and the needle drops through.
The motion of the needle in a sewing machine is vertically, rapidly up and down.
You cannot chop a tree down with a knitting needle as the needle does not have a sharp edge. You could bore it down if you lived long enough.
A ship made of steel floats because it has a hollow structure that displaces enough water to create buoyant force greater than its weight. A needle sinks because its density is greater than that of water, so it does not displace enough water to generate enough buoyant force to support its weight.
Whether something sinks when it's placed on water is determined by the amount (weight) of water that it displaces. The needle, being small in size and relatively high in mass (relative to its size), displaces very little water when it is placed on the surface. The weight of the needle will be more than the weight of the water that it displaces and the needle will sink. The ship, though many times heavier than the needle, will displace alot more water than the needle. The ship will float if the weight of the displaced water is more than the weight of the ship.
