    Both objects have a density greater than 1.00 g/cm³ ... the density of water.

    Placed in water, both objects will proceed straight to the bottom.

    In Carbon Disulfide ... density 1.26 g/cm³ ... Object-A will float, but Object-B

    will sink.

    In Chloroform (1.49 g/cm³), Mercury (13.6 g/cm³), or Nitric Acid (1.56 g/cm³),

    both objects will float. But Object-B must displace more water in order to

    create buoyant force equal to its weight, so Object-A will float higher.
