Detailed Solution

A solid has a density of 0.8 gm/cm3 it is put on water contained in a vessel, it will floats with 80% volume submerged.
The solid will float with 80% volume submerged in the water. The density of the water is 1 gm/cm3 and the density of the solid is 0.8 gm/cm3. So, the density of the solid is less than that of water, which is why the solid will float upon the water.
