Answer 2

The iron nail in the water sinks

Explanation:

• When the density of a body is lower than the water density, the body floats in water.
• If the body's density is greater than the density of water, then the body sinks in water.
• The density of iron is heavier than the density of water.
• This is because the weight of the iron nail is more than the buoyant force or upthrust underwent by the nail making it sink in the water.
• In Archimede's principle, when an object is immersed in a liquid the weight of the liquid displaced will be equal to the weight of the object.
• In this case, the weight of the iron nail is more than the weight of the water to be displaced.
• Therefore, the iron nail sinks in water.
