Question

explain the law of floatation .

Answer 1

This increases the buoyant force as the the buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced. The wood will sink until the buoyant force equal its weight. Therefore, The law of flotationstates that a floating object displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it floats.

Answer 2

• the weight of a flowing body in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body the centre of gravity of the following body and the centre of buoyancy in the same vertical line.
