Solution

Density:

  • A substance's density is a measurement of how heavy it is in relation to its size.
  • When placed in water, an object will float if its density is lower than that of the water, whereas it will sink if its density is higher.
  • Only when the item is buoyant in a neutral manner is that beginning point valid.
  • When an item is denser than water, it only moves the water equivalent of its volume.
  • As a result, the object lowers because the buoyancy force (the weight of water displaced) is less than the object's weight.
  • An item will sink in water if its density is greater than that of the liquid.
