Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Whether an object will sink or float in a fluid is determined by
A
Pascal’s principle
B
Charles’s law
C
Bernoulli’s principle
D
Archimedes’ principle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the buoyant force is greater than the object’s weight, the object will rise to the surface and float. If the buoyant force is less than the object’s weight, the object will sink. If the buoyant force equals the object’s weight, the object will remain suspended at that depth.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is an upward force, or buoyant force, on any object in any fluid ((Figure)). If the buoyant force is greater than the object’s weight, the object rises to the surface and floats. If the buoyant force is less than the object’s weight, the object sinks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Density is a measure of how heavy something is compared to its size. If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float. Density is a characteristic property of a substance and doesn’t depend on the amount of substance.
