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.

What causes sinking?

Density. Objects that are more dense than other less dense objects will sink below them. This is how floating works, as well.

Objects with a density lower than 1.00. Find this by using the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.


Why is a objects density expressed as a relationship between two units?

It is not two units are not the same as 1 density the objects density only counts on how much the mass of the object is then you will find out the density (units are counted in the density)

If a substance is floating does it have more or less mass?

mass of a substance is constant at any place in the universe.the reason for floating is its density is less than density of medium in which it is floating


Hoe does an objects density determine whether the object will sink?

If an objects density is less than the density of what it is put in it will float. If the objects density is greater it will sink.
