Well it depends on the density of the object and the density of the liquid that it is placed in. The object produces a buoyant force that lifts it to the surface of the liquid.

Round object with flat circular end?
A round object with flat, circular ends is a cylinder. It is shaped like a can of vegetables.
Does mass alone determine wheter an object will float or sink?
No. The key to whether an object floats or sinks is the average density, i.e., mass divided by volume. Also, whether an object will float or not also strictly depends on the surface volume. A piece of tin foil shaped into a boat will float and the same mass of tin foil shaped into a crumpled up ball will not float.
Would a flat object sink less than a pointy object?
Assuming the same density, they'd sink or float just the same.
When an object float what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
If the density of an object is 1 then will that object sink or float?
The object would float in the middle if it was in water.
What factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.An object will float if it has less density than the density of the liquid.
Is it true that object with large mass float?
Yes. If the object is in a lower gravitational pull, like the object is in the moon then it can float. But if it the object is in the Earth ,then the object will not float, also in water. But boats and ships are different cos it has a property or structure that make them float.
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
When an object floats what does the object have?
when a object float it has density
How much water should you use to make an object float?
That depends what object you want to float.
What will happen to an object placed in a tub of water if it has a density greater than 1.0 g?
It is likely to sink. However, it may float if it is shaped like a boat.
When will an object float in a liquid?
An object will float in a liquid when the density of the liquid is higher than that of the object or when equal. That is to say Upthrust= or >weight of the object
