    If the density of an object such as a cork is less than the density of water, the object [_______], and if the density of an object such as iron nail is greater than the density of water, the object [_______]

    Explanation
    When the density of an object is less than the density of water, such as in the case of a cork, the object will float. This is because the buoyant force exerted by the water is greater than the weight of the object, causing it to rise to the surface. On the other hand, when the density of an object is greater than the density of water, like in the case of an iron nail, the object will sink. The buoyant force is not strong enough to counteract the weight of the object, causing it to descend to the bottom.
