Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The density of any substance is its mass per unit volume. Whether the object will float or sink in another substance is determined by the density of that particular object. Any object with a higher density than the liquid in which it is placed will sink in that liquid. For example – iron nails. Any object with lesser density than the liquid in which it is placed will float in that liquid. For example – paper. Thus, if the density of a solid is greater than the density of water, the solid will sink in water.
