    To predict the sinking/floating behavior of a spherical object, you could determine its density.

    Step 1. Determine its mass on a suitable balance.

    Step 2. Determine its volume

    Either

    Measure its circumference. C = 2πr, so you can calculate r

    or

    Measure its diameter. d = 2r, so you can calculate r

    Then

    V = ⁴/₃πr³, so you can calculate its volume.

    Step 3. Calculate its density (D).

    Density = mass/volume

    If D < 1 g/cm³, the object will float in water. If D > 1 g/cm³, the object will sink.

    You can predict it by measuring the weight of the spherical object and measuring the liquid (mL) and subtracting finding the volume
