An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).
If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.
If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.
If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.

Why do pushpins sink?
Pushpins sink because they are denser than water. The pushpin's material, usually metal or plastic, is heavier than water, causing it to sink when placed in water.
Will water float on oil?
No, water will sink in oil because oil is less dense than water. This causes the water to be heavier and sink below the oil.
Where stone sink in water?
A stone will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. This means that the weight of the stone is heavier than the weight of the displaced water, causing it to sink.
Name three things that sink and why they sink?
Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.
Will a heavier boat sink more into the water or less?
A heavier boat will sink more into the water because the weight of the boat causes it to displace more water, resulting in a lower buoyancy force. This increases how deep the boat sits in the water compared to a lighter boat of the same size and shape.
Why do heavy objects sink in water?
Objects sink in water because they are denser than water, not necessarily because they are heavier.
Why do pushpins sink?
Pushpins sink because they are denser than water. The pushpin's material, usually metal or plastic, is heavier than water, causing it to sink when placed in water.
Why would a penny sink in a river?
A penny would sink in a river because a penny is made mostly of zinc, which is heavier than water. Because the penny is heavier than water, it sinks.
Why bodies do not sink in the salty water?
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
Will water float on oil?
No, water will sink in oil because oil is less dense than water. This causes the water to be heavier and sink below the oil.
Does water sink to the bottom of a gasoline tank?
Yes, because water is heavier then gasoline
Where stone sink in water?
A stone will sink in water because its density is greater than that of water. This means that the weight of the stone is heavier than the weight of the displaced water, causing it to sink.
Is water lighter than carbon disulphide?
no,it is heavier than water and so it'll sink
What the density of water is equal to 1.0 gcm3. A substance with density equal to 2.1 gcm3 would in water?
The substance with a density of 2.1 g/cm3 will sink in water, as it is denser than water (density of 1.0 g/cm3). This means that the substance will not float but will sink to the bottom of the container filled with water.

Does leather sink in water?
It depends on how the leather is finished. Certain leathers will sink almost immediately, however most leathers will float for a while until they become waterlogged and then slowly sink or float below the surface of the water.
