Density... Will it float? Mass divided by volume, this is what will give you the density of your object. If you have a small block with the same amount of mass as a bigger block, which do you think will float. The bigger one because it is bigger? If you guess that, you would be wrong. The smaller block and the bigger block have the same mass but the volume is different. Since the smaller block has all that mass compacted into a tighter place, this will cause this block to sink. With more space for the the other block it will make this block float. So before you make a prediction on whether it will float or not then you should check the size of your block and see how much density is compacted into that block.
