Question

a body is floating on the surface of a liquid. with the help of a diagram show the two forces acting on the body that are responsible for its floatation. state the relation between these forces in this case.

Answer 1

When a body is floating on a liquid, there are two forces acting on it, the gravitational force and the buoyant force.

The gravitational force pulls the object down and the buoyant force push it above the liquid.

Here the buoyant force is greater than the gravitational force, therefore the object floats on the liquid.

Answer 2

Answer:

buyont force greater than gravitational force
