Question

An object will float when:

Answer 1

Density is equal to the weight of the object

Answer 2

Answer:

A. buoyant force is equal to the weight of the object

Explanation:

An object floats when the buoyancy is equal to the weight of the object. According to Archimedes Principle for flotation, the weight of the object should be equal to the weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the object. If the weight of the object is greater than the weight of the water displaced by the submerged part of the object, it will sink.
