What happens when a solid object with a lower density is placed in a liquid with a greater density?

When the sold object with a lower density is placed on a liquid surface with higher density, the object floats. Some part of the object is submerged in the liquid and some part is above the surface of liquid. How much is above the surface of water depends on the densities of the solid and liquid.
The object floats due to the force of buyoyance exerted by the liquid on the solid in the upward direction. This force opposes the force of gravity and balances the sold to be at the top of the liquid surface.

Basically It will float

A solid object with a lower density placed in a liquid with a higher density will float due to the principle of buoyancy. The buoyant force equals the weight of the liquid displaced, allowing it to support the object. Some part of the object will be submerged while the rest remains above the liquid surface.
