It would sink until it was completely covered with water and then neither go farther down nor up.

When the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the object how do the densities of the object and water compare?

Is is related through Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the submerged object. The weight of a volume of water is equal to the volume x density of water x the gravitational constant.FB = V ρ g


What is the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid have to be?

An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the fluid's density. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, the object will sink. If the object's density is equal to the fluid's density, it will be suspended at a specific depth.


What is the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the liquid?

The object will float if its density is less than the density of the liquid. If the object's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the densities are equal, the object will remain suspended at a specific level in the liquid.


In order for an object to have neutral buoyancy what would the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid have to be?

For an object to have neutral buoyancy, its density must be equal to the density of the fluid it is immersed in. This means that the weight of the fluid displaced by the object is equal to the weight of the object itself, resulting in no net force acting on the object, allowing it to remain suspended in the fluid.


If 90 percent of an object is floating below water what is its density?

Let's say the object has mass M and volume V. An object floats by displacing an amount of water equal to the object's mass. So water equal to 90% of the volume of the object has mass equal to the whole object, or M = 0.9V * 1g/ml or M = 0.9V Since density is mass divided by volume, or d = M/V, density of object = M/V = 0.9 g/ml.

A small object is able to remain suspended when dropped into a container of water. What does this tell you about the object's density in relation to the density of water?

It means that the object has an equal density to the water.

What happens when an object is dropped into a beaker containing a liquid and then the object drops to the bottom of the beaker?

The density of the object is at least equal to, and possibly greater than, the density of the liquid in the beaker.


If the density of an object is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed?

If the density of an object which is equal to one(Which is also the density of the water), the object will neither sink nor float but it will be unstable, sometimes you will see the object sink then float. In other words the object is unstable in water....XD

A 15 gram solid object is dropped into agraduated cylinder containin 35 ml of water the water level rises to 45 ml mark what is the density of the solid?

the object volume is equal to the water displaced, or 10ml. Density is 15/10 = 1.5g/ml

How is mass of an object different from its density?

Density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

How does floating happen?

Floating occurs when the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the object. This balance allows the object to remain suspended in the fluid without sinking or rising. Objects with a lower density than the fluid they are in will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
