Describe the law of floatation.
Answers
The Law of Flotation says that for a floating object, the weight of the object equals the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. We prove this by using Archimedes' Principle with Newton's Second law applied to an object in equilibrium (floating).
Laws of Floatation:-
A body floats in a liquid if:
A body floats in a liquid if:1. Density of the material of the body is less than or equal to the density of the liquid.2. If density of material of body is equal to density of liquid, the body floats fully submerged in liquid in neutral equilibrium.3. When body floats in neutral equilibrium, the weight of the body is equal to the weight of displaced liquid.4. The centre of gravity of the body and centre of gravity of the displaced liquid should be in one vertical line.

Answer:
laws of flotation
Explanation:
- the weight of a floating body in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body
- the centre of a gravity of a floating body and the centre of buoyancy are in the same vertical line.
