Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced ... When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation" where a floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

Explanation:

Density is the only thing affecting whethersomething floats or sinks. If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid canmean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density isdetermined by an object's mass and volume.
