Describe Archimedes' Principle and how it is used to determine whether or not an object will float in a fluid?

The Principle states that the mass of a liquid displaced by a floating body is equal to the mass of that body. So if you fill a tumbler up with water to the brim, put an object into it, weigh the water that has been pushed out of the tumbler, and compare that with the weight of the object, you'll know whether it floats ot not. If you're doing this with a large object like a ship you'd need to calculate by measurement how much water is going to be displaced by the weight of the ship (also calculated). Hopefully, it's be the same, or your ship will sink.

How will you determine if an object will sink or float?
Archimedes principle: the buoyant force on a submerged object will be equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.Basically if the object is more dense than the fluid it is put into, it will sink, if it is less dense, it will float.The density of an object and its shape and its design are important in deciding whether it will sink or float.
