An object sinks in water if its density is greater than that of water. An object floats in water if its density is less than that of water.

Yogita Ingle 4 years ago

When the object has density less than 1 g cm-1  then it floats on the surface of water, because, it always displaces more weight of water than its own weight. As buoyant force is more than its own weight, therefore, it floats. When the object has density more than 1 g cm-3   then it sinks in water, because it always displaces less weight of water than its own weight. As buoyant force is less than its own weight, therefore, it sinks.  

Hope you enjoy it this answer
