At 62.5 lbs/ft3 , that's 127.6 lbs in water.
Such a container will float (127.6 pounds minus the weight of the container) in water.

∙ 11y agoA fully loaded container ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the ship is supported by the water it displaces, according to Archimedes' principle. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the ship will float.
A solid block with a lower density than water will float in a container of water. This is because the buoyant force acting on the block is greater than its weight, causing it to rise to the surface and float.
Big containers float in water because their density is less than the density of water. The buoyant force pushing up on the container is greater than the weight of the container pushing down, so it floats. This is based on Archimedes' principle.
A cork would float in water because it is less dense than water. This means that the cork displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float on the surface of the water.

Cullets doesn't float on water.
Yes, turnips can float in water. The density of a turnip is lower than water, causing it to float when placed in a container of water.
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
Aluminum has a density of 2.7g/cc which is higher than that of water (1.0g/cc) and ordinarily would sink; if the can was empty and thus (like a boat) able to displace more weight in water (by virtue of its volume) than its own weight, it could then float. However, if it was filled with water, its overall density considering both the metal and the container's content, would be higher than water, and it would sink.

A good object that will float is a plastic container. It worked for me. Yes a plastic container will work well it worked in my science class.
You can predict if an object will sink or float by comparing its density to the density of the liquid it is placed in. If the object's density is greater than the liquid's density, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the liquid's density, it will float.
