Answer:

In the case of water, an object with a density less than 1 g/cm3 will float. The closer its density is to 1 g/cm3, the more of it will sit below the water level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether an object will float or sink is dependent on its density, and on the density of the liquid it is placed in.
