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?
Answers
Answer: A body is just floating does not necessarily mean the densities are equal. A body can be made to float even if its density is much larger than the liquid as happens to a ship made of iron !
However in terms of densities playing the role of floatation - A body is either more dense or less than the fluid in which it is immersed however small may be the difference between the two. In such a case it sinks or floats accordingly. However neutral buoyancy is a condition in which a physical body's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed. An object that has neutral buoyancy will neither sink nor rise. It can be made to float at any level in the liquid. This principle of managing neutral buoyancy is made use of in submarines, scuba diving and by many living creatures of the sea !
Explanation:
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
