Floating Objects

Floating objects are items that remain buoyant and stay on or near the surface of a liquid because their density is less than that of the liquid. This can include things like boats, buoys, or even ice on water. The key principle is that an object will float if it displaces enough liquid to support its weight, according to Archimedes' principle. Factors such as shape, material, and density determine whether an object floats or sinks. Understanding floating objects is essential in fields like maritime navigation, environmental science, and engineering.
