Answer: Thus, when an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid then the object will sink into the liquid.

Explanation: Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

Mathematically,
Density= (mass)/(volume)

This shows that density is proportional to mass of the object, that is, more is density more will be the mass of object.

it sinks into the liquid

(e.g. water sinks under oil as it is more dense)
