The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 for a liquid so a floater needs to be less dense than that!
- Karen JLv 51 decade ago
The density of a floater can be measured in two ways as follows:
.1- Divide the part below the water:Lb by the total length Lt
This could be done as a proportion (either area or volume) if the floater is not uniform.
.2- Divide the mass: M by the volume: V

Hope this helps :)

less than 1, so it experiences an upthrust equal to the volume of water it displaces.Freshwater has a density if 1. It would float slightly higher in salt/sea water.

It does depend on the density of the water. For example, in the dead sea all t-u-r-d-s would float, wheras on fresh water most would sink.
Apart from that, I suggets you ask someone with a physics degree and a childish mind.

Less than the density of your head which appears to be full of fecal matter judging from your scatological fixation

Really dense if you haven't eaten your weetabix, average if you have and no density at all if followed the weetabix with an extra hot vindaloo.
