"Float" refers to the ability of an object to remain on the surface of a liquid without sinking. This phenomenon occurs due to the balance between the object's weight and the upward force exerted by the liquid, known as buoyancy. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in, such as a boat floating on water. In everyday life, we see examples of floatation, like beach balls and rubber ducks that stay on the surface of pools. Understanding floatation is important in various fields, including engineering and marine biology, as it helps in designing vessels and studying aquatic life.
