Question

A body which floats in water, sank when put in kerosene .Why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If an object floats on water but sinks in kerosene, the density of the object must be between the density of kerosene and water (0.85, 0.9, 0.95, etc). For example a piece of wood with density of 0.9 g/cm³ will float on water (0.9 < 1) but will sink in kerosene (0.9 > 0.8).

Explanation:

When something is less dense than the object that it is sitting on/in it will float. ...Kerosene is immiscible with water and is of lower density, so floats on the surface of water. Lead shots should sink in kerosene because they do so in water and as kerosene floats on water."

Hope it helps...Please mark me as brainliest and have a great day !
