To find the density of floating objects, you need to measure the mass of the object and the volume of water it displaces when floating. The density can then be calculated by dividing the mass of the object by the volume of water displaced.

The density of water is specified as 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Any object having a density less than 1 gm/cc3 will float on water.

Compare the thing's density with the density of water. If the thing's density is less than the density of water it will float, if greater than water it will not.
