If an object has a density greater than the liquid in which it is placed it will sink.

Explanation:

Density of the object can be known by its mass and volume.

If two objects have same volume but different masses it means the one having more mass will have higher density. Density is amount of mass per unit volume.

Objects that are tightly packed have higher density.

According to Archimedes' principle when a body is fully immersed that an upward buoyant force is equal to weight of the fluid that object displaces.
