How does mass density relate to buoyant force?

Mass density is a materials mass per unit volume. Buoyant force is the upward force that keeps things afloat. They both deal with force.

The more dense a fluid is, the more wight it can support. The more dense the object is, the less bouyant it will be. Density makes a big difference.

Mass density is another way to say the amount of material per cubic unit. The greater the density, the more buoyant force required to keep the object afloat and vise versa.

It is a materials mass per unit volume. The other force is the umward force. The more density of a fluid the more weight it can support.
