An object floats when the weight force on the object is balanced by the upward push of the water on the object.

Osmosis is the process of the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a region of higher solvent concentration to the region of lower solvent concentration. If grapes are placed in a salt solution that is more concentrated than cell sap, exosmosis will happen and grapes will shrink.
