Question

An object floats in water such that half of its volume is immersed in it. The specific gravity of the object is _____.
Please explain it to me?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the density of an object is more than the density of the liquid, then it sinks in the liquid.

Archimedes' principle reasons this statement. This is because the buoyant force acting on the object is less than the weight of the object. If the density of the object is less than or equal to the density of the liquid, then it floats on the surface of the liquid. This is because the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the object.
