Question

Statement 1 : If a body is floating in a liquid, the density of liquid is always greater than the density of solid. Statement 2 : Surface tension is the property of liquid surface.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 is wrong. 2 is correct.

Explanation:

Because when a body floats on water its total density is taken which is M/total volume.this volume also includes the volume occupied by air.

Surface tension always acts on the surface of liquids.That's why it is surface phenomenon.
