An object will sink in a liquid if its density is higher than that of the liquid. Conversely, an object will float in a liquid if its density is lower than that of the liquid. The relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density determines whether it will sink or float.

What is the difference between floating and sinking objects and the density of the liquid they are in?
Floating objects have a lower density than the liquid they are in, causing them to float. Sinking objects have a higher density than the liquid, causing them to sink. The density of the liquid determines whether an object will float or sink based on the relationship between the object's density and the liquid's density.
What property does sinking and floating test?
The sinking and floating test helps determine the density and buoyancy of an object. Objects that are denser than the surrounding liquid will sink, while objects that are less dense will float.

Why does an object suspend in a liquid?
An object suspends in a liquid when the density of the object is equal to the density of the liquid. This results in a condition where the buoyant force pushing up on the object is equal to the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing it to remain suspended in the liquid without sinking or floating.
What are the conditions to a object to sink?
Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced

How does a hydrometer work to measure the density of liquids?
A hydrometer measures the density of liquids by floating in the liquid and sinking to a certain level based on the liquid's density. The higher the density of the liquid, the lower the hydrometer will sink. The scale on the hydrometer provides a reading of the liquid's density.

Will the liquid on the top have the highest or lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.

How is floating and sinking a force?
They aren't really. Floating is when an object is held up against the pull of gravity due to the density of the liquid in which the object is resting (though technically, while sitting in a chair you are "floating" but we generally don't use the word that way). Sinking is just an object being pulled down by gravity despite the resistance of the liquid. Sinking is functionally the same as falling, however it generally happens at a slower rate due to the higher resistance (friction) provided by liquid over gasses.
What are the conditions to a object to sink?
Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced
Will the liquid on the top have the highest or the lowest density?
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
Does a floating object sink morein liquid of low density than a liquid of a high density?
Hi guys
Does a rock sink?
yes, as long as it has a higher density that the water (or liquid it is sinking into)!
Why did the paper sink in the buffer solution?
The paper sank in the buffer solution because paper is denser than the liquid in the buffer solution. The density of the paper caused it to displace an equal volume of liquid, resulting in the paper sinking rather than floating.
