Objects float when the volume of water they displace is less than the volume of the objects themselves. When objects sink, the volume of water they displace is greater than the volume of the object. The principle may seem relatively simple: Light objects float and heavy objects sink.
If the density of an object in the fluid is greater than the density of the fluid, the object will sink. If the density is less than the fluid, the object will float. An object will float to the top and only be submerged by an amount according to the ratio of the densities.
