Question

Explain the law of floatation?​

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\boxed{\mathcal{SOLUTION}}}$

According to the principle of flotation, an object will float on a liquid if its weight is equal or less than the weight of the liquid displaced by it.

For flotation,

Weight of the object = Weight of the liquid displaced

A floating object may be partially or fully submerged in a liquid. The liquid is displaced by the portion of the object that is submerged in it. 

We can tell whether an object will float or sink in a liquid by comparing its density (or average density) to that of the liquid.

An object will float on a liquid if its average density is less than that of the liquid.

An object will float on a liquid if its density is equal to that of the liquid, but no part of it will remain above the surface of the liquid.

An object will sink in a liquid if its density is more than that of the 

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
