If the body’s weight(W) is more than the Upthrust (U) (If W > U) then the body sinks.
If the weight of the body (W) is less than the Upthrust (U) (If W < U) then the body floats.

The formula to calculate the body’s weight in the liquid is:

Body’s weight in liquid = Body’s weight in the air – Upthrust
