It displaces 12/9.8 kg of water = 1.22 Kg.
This would be assuming that gravity is 9.8 M/S2

What is law of flotation?
A floating body displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it floats.

What is the weight in newtons of a 352g object?
On earth, 352g weighs 3.45 newtons.
What is the apparent weight of a submarine that weighs 1256N and it displaces 1562N of water?
Apparent weight = Fg - Fb = 1256 - 1562 = -306 N so in this case buoyance force is greater than its real weight so it must be rising to the water surface and floats.
What happends if the weight of an object is greather than the weight of the water?
I assume you mean "What happens if the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water it displaces." If so, the answer is simple, it sinks. If an objects weighs less than the weight of the water it displaces, it floats.
Would an object of 3.7 cm float why or why not?
Floats when it displaces its weight of water; sinks when it's displaced water weighs less than the object. Huh?

What is the weight in newtons of a 352g object?
On earth, 352g weighs 3.45 newtons.
What factors affect an objects ability to sink or float?
the water that it displaces (the amount of water it takes up in the water) is a factor. If the weight of an object is lighter than the weight of the amount of water it displaces, then, it floats. If the weight is higher than the weight of the water it displaces, then the object sinks.
What describes why a cruise ship floats?
It displaces an equal or greater amount of water than its own weight.
Why the sailboat floats on the sea?
The weight of the sail boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces. That is its density is less than that of water.
What is the apparent weight of a submarine that weighs 1256N and it displaces 1562N of water?
Apparent weight = Fg - Fb = 1256 - 1562 = -306 N so in this case buoyance force is greater than its real weight so it must be rising to the water surface and floats.
