Floating and sinking of an object depends on its ______.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D its weight and volume
Some objects float in water, while others sink in water depending upon how heavy they are i.e., weight and how much space they occupy i.e., volume. A heavy ship can float in oceans because it also has a lot of space in it but a light needle sinks because it occupies very less space.
