it would sink
(DrStrong) The answer above may be correct, or the object might float. It depends on the density of the container. If the container is a foam cooler filled with water, it's going to be floating. That's because the weight of matter contained within the outer surface of the foam cooler will be slightly less than the weight of water of the same volume. You can call that a gross density if you wish. However, if the container was made of iron, then there is no way it will float if it is completely filled with water, since the gross density will be greater than that of water.
See Archimedes Principle.

Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Which will float and which will sink a piece of Styrofoam a piece of oak and a gold ring?
The piece of Styrofoam will float, the piece of oak will sink, and the gold ring will also sink. Styrofoam is less dense than water so it floats, while oak and gold are denser than water so they will sink.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
What are the object that sink in water?
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metals like iron and lead, and some types of wood that have become waterlogged. Other objects like plastics and styrofoam are less dense than water and will float.
What objects float in oil?
Objects that are less dense than oil will float in oil. Examples include feathers, certain types of wood, and plastic objects like Styrofoam or plastic wrap. Metal objects and dense materials will sink in oil.
Does styrofoam sink in air or float?

Will a styrofoam cup float or sink in water?
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
Which will float and which will sink a piece of Styrofoam a piece of oak and a gold ring?
The piece of Styrofoam will float, the piece of oak will sink, and the gold ring will also sink. Styrofoam is less dense than water so it floats, while oak and gold are denser than water so they will sink.
How can you separate sand and styrofoam?
That will depend on the size of the styrofoam pieces. If they are significantly larger than the sand, you merely pick them out by hand. If not, then a sieve can be used assuming the sand will go thru the sieve and the styrofoam will be too large to pass through. You need to find a sieve with the right size holes. Another way is to add acetone and the styrofoam will dissolve, and the sand will stay behind, but this technique doesn't give you the styrofoam back again.
What is the material that can float and not easy to sink?
Pumice rock will float unless water fills most of the small air pockets. Wood may also be dense enough to sink when waterlogged. Styrofoam and similar materials cannot sink because they are less dense than water.
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
What is the property called that separates styrofoam balls?
The property that separates styrofoam balls is their buoyancy. Styrofoam balls are lightweight and have air trapped inside, making them less dense than water. This causes them to float on the surface of water, separating them from denser materials that sink.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
