The laws of floatation are: 

i) A body will sink in a liquid if its density is greater than the density of the liquid.

(ii) A body will float in a liquid if its density is less than the density of the liquid.

(iii) A body will be in equilibrium at any submerged depth, if the density of the body is equal to the density of the liquid.
