- The tendency of an object to rise up to the upper levels of the fluid or to float on the fluid surface is known as floatation. Sinking is just the opposite process of floatation which means the tendency of an object to go deep down to the lower levels of the fluid.

Density is the mass per unit of volume of a substance. The more mass there is in a volume, the higher the density. The density of water is about 1 gram per milliliter (g/ml) or 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). So, things that are less dense than water float on it, while substances that are more dense than water sink in it. For numerical values,...
Human feces (poop) either sink or float, depending on a few different factors. Mostly, poop is denser than water and sinks. However, it floats if a person’s diet is high in fiber or the stool contains a lot of gas or fat. While not necessarily indicative of a medical condition, floating poop can be indicative of an infection, pancreatitis, or irrit...
Even a dense object floats its shape gives it buoyancy. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid (liquid or gas) that opposes the weight of the object. This force is due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object, which creates a net upward force. According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant...
There are several common misconceptions about how floating works. The following statements are false: 1. Light objects float and heavy objects sink, regardless of their size or shape. 2. A floating object is completely above the surface of the liquid. 3. Objects only float because they contain trapped air. 4. Objects float better in deep water than...

Oct 28, 2015 · An object that is denser than the liquid will sink, and one that is less dense will float. To go into a little more detail: when an object is placed in a liquid, the liquid exerts an upward force on it, called the buoyant force .
Dec 28, 2020 · The buoyant force is a net upward force on an object in a fluid due to the pressure of the fluid. The buoyant force is the reason some objects float and all objects fall more slowly when dropped in a liquid. It is also why helium balloons float in the air.
Buoyant Force. Buoyancy is the tendency of an object to float in a fluid. All liquids and gases in the presence of gravity exert an upward force known as the buoyant force on any object immersed in them. Buoyancy results from the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid.
Buoyancy (/ ˈbɔɪənsi, ˈbuːjənsi /), [1][2] or upthrust is a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.
