Buoyant force (Archimedes's principle)

Question

If an object is more dense than the oil but less dense than the water, will the object sink deeper in oil or water?

Answer 1

Simply put, and to answer the question directly, …. Since the object is more dense than the oil, the object will sink deeper in the oil than in the water.

Answer 2

The object would float between the two. If the objects density is closer to water, it will sink more into the water. If the density is closer to the oil, the object would have more of it in the oil.
