Will an object with a density of 0.97 g/mL float or sink in water?

If something has a density lower than water (fewer particles per cubic measurement), then it will float in water. If something has a higher density (more particles per cubic measurement), then it will sink in water.
Water has a density of 1g/ml, so an object with the lower density of 0.97g/ml will float in water. Hope this helps! :)

An object with a density of 0.97g/ml will float in water because its density is less than water's density. The principle of buoyancy explains that an object less dense than the fluid it is in will float. For example, a human with a density of 995 kg/m³ will be mostly submerged in freshwater while slightly less in salt water due to the higher density of salt water. ;

An object with a density of 0.97 g/mL will float in water since its density is less than the density of water, which is 1.00 g/mL. According to the principle of buoyancy, this lower density means the object is less dense than the water. Therefore, it will float.
