Instead of density this video will explain how to use buoyancy and the buoyant force to determine whether an object will float or sink in a fluid. This is done by comparing the weight of the object to the buoyant force from the fluid. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object that is partially or fully submerged in the fluid.
