Give an example of what you mean. For example a piece of sand sinks to the bottom of the ocean in the same way that a submarine sinks to the bottom of the ocean so please be more specific in terms of what you are asking. Bigger means larger in volume Lighter means smaller in mass

Will a heavier boat sink more into the water or less?

A heavier boat will sink more into the water because the weight of the boat causes it to displace more water, resulting in a lower buoyancy force. This increases how deep the boat sits in the water compared to a lighter boat of the same size and shape.


Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?

In a fluid medium, objects sink based on their density relative to the surrounding medium. In general, heavier objects sink faster than lighter objects because they have a greater gravitational force pulling them down. Light itself does not sink as it is not a solid object, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation.

No, steel is not lighter when in water. Steel is denser than water, so it will sink in water rather than float. The weight of the steel displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, making it sink.
