Objects with a density less than that of the liquid float on the liquid. This occurs because the upthrust or buoyant force from the liquid is greater than the weight of the object.

Objects with a density less than that of the liquid will float when placed in the liquid. This is because the buoyant force exerted by the liquid is greater than the weight of the object, causing it to rise and remain partially or completely above the liquid’s surface.
