Density & Buoyancy: How To Make Sinking Objects Float

Making Sinking Objects Float.

An object sinks or floats in water depending on its density relative to that of water. When an object is denser than water it sinks. When it is lighter than water, it floats.

Density is derived by dividing mass with volume
Density = Mass/Volume

By increasing the volume of an object, its density will decrease.
