Question

What are the factors on which the sinking or floating of an object depend?

Answer 1

Explanation

1. The sinking or floating of an object depends on the mass and volume of the object.
2. Density is the mass-to-volume ratio of an object. Density of water is$\mathbf{1}\mathit{g}\mathbf{/}\mathit{m}\mathit{l}\mathbf{.}$
3. An object will float if its density is less than that of water.
4. If the density of an object exceeds that of water, it will sink.
