This object will sink, as in order to float it must displace a mass of water greater than its own.

the buoyant force of this object will be 15N
As this is the amount of water it is capable of displacing

The buoyant force will be 15 N against the weight.There are
5N available to sink the object

the bouyant force is 5 N and it will sink

the displaced water would need to weigh at least 15 N for the object to float.
