the buoyant force acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity, so it makes the object feel lighter
If the object has less density than the liquid in which it will be placed, then it will float.
If the object has a greater density than the liquid, then it will sink.
density
Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.
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.
The "average" density of the object must be less than that of the water displaced.
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
No, because you can predict if an object will sink or float mostly on density.
An object will sink if its density is greater than the liquid in which it is placed; it will float if its density is less.
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
Because that's how life is. If the density is greater than the density of water it will sink. If less, it will float.
If its density is less than 1 it will float in water. If its density is more than 1, it will sink in water.
If an object has less density than water (or whatever liquid you are considering), it will float. And if it has more density then the liguid you are considering it will sinq
Calculate the density (mass divided by volume) of your object. If the density is less than that of water - which has a density of about 1000 kg per cubic meter - then it will float; if the density of your object is more, it will sink.

No. An object will sink if its DENSITY is greater than that of the liquid (or gas) in which you place it.
if the object is more dense the liquid it is in it will sink. if it is less dense than the liquid it is in it will float
If an object is less dense then water, it will float assuming the object does not absorb the water there by increasing its density.
Measure the mass and volume of both to determine each's density (mass/volume). If the object is less dense; it will float, if it is mroe dense; it will sink.
