1. Float material: The float’s buoyancy is determined by its material. Steel, for example, will sink deeper than lighter materials like plastic.
2. The float’s size: The float’s size will also determine its weight. Larger floats have more mass, and thus more weight.
3. Liquid density: The density of the liquid will also affect the weight of the float. The float will sink deeper in heavier liquids such as oil than in lighter liquids such as water.
4. Float shape: The shape of the float can also affect its weight. Floats with a larger surface area will need more weight to stay submerged.
