For something to float, it must have a density less than in what it is flaoting. This means that steam, which is less dense than air, rises (or floats) in the air. This is also why clouds floa; the water molecules which make up the cloud ar...

Only a part of the life saver is below the water line because the weight of water displaced by its full volume would be much larger than its weight. ... The guy held below the water is in equilibrium under three forces: The upward buoyant force equal to the weight of his full volume of ... When his lungs fill with water,
