Question

A body is just floating in a liquid whose density is equal to that of the body. what will happen to the body, if it is slightly pressed and released

Answer 1

Answer:

It will sink to the bottom.

Explanation:

This is because when the liquid is floating on the surface then more than the buoyant force, surface tension comes into play. The thin water membrane acts as a stretched elastic membrane and helps the body to float.

But as soon as the body is pressed a little bit, the surface tension is lowered as a result of which the body will sink to the bottom of the container.

THANKS.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sink to the bottom

Because if density of body = density of water then only it will float

So when the body is pressed then the distance between the bottom of the vessel and body decrease so upthrust decreases so the bodys weight increases hence at last there will be a point where there is no upthrust
