An object will sink in water if its density is greater than the density of water. This means that the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force acting on it. Consequently, the object displaces less water than its weight.
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
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.
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. An object with a higher density than water will sink, while an object with a lower density will float. Mass does play a role in determining density but is not the sole factor in whether something floats or sinks.
No, a light bulb will not sink in water because it is less dense than water. The air inside the light bulb makes it buoyant, causing it to float on the surface of the water.
To determine if an object will sink or float in water, you compare the density of the object to the density of water. If the object is denser than water, it will sink. If the object is less dense than water, it will float. The principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, also plays a role in determining whether something will sink or float.

Gravity. It's the same force which pulls things down even without water.
More or less density of the material compared to the density of the water.
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.

The sand puts weight on it and it makes in sink.
This depends on the density of this item: more denser than water-sink, less denser than water-float.
We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.
