When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

Answer 2

Answer:

A floating body would displace liquid equal to its own weight.

Explanation:

The theory that explains this phenomenon is known as Archimedes'  principle or the principle of floatation. "Any object, totally or partially immersed in a fluid or liquid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object".
The pressure exerted by water on an object downward would be equal to that of the object's weight.
The pressure exerted by water on an object upward is known as Buoyant force and would be equal to the weight of water displaced by the object.
So the difference between the downward force, the weight of the object, and the buoyant force are zero, and then the object floats.
As Archimedes states in his treatise on "Floating Bodies"- "Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid."
