If it's denser than the fluid it is in, it will sink. If it is less dense it will float. If you are talking about water, water weighs 1 gram / ml = 1 gram / cubic cm = 1kg / liter = 1 metric ton / cubic m If your object weighs less than that, it will float on water.

whereas To sink, the density has to be greater than whatever the fluid it's in's density. To float, it's just the opposite; lower density than the fluid's means floating
