Question

The same body is immersed in two liquids A and B in succession. The extent to which the body sinks in liquid B is less than in liquid A. What are the conclusions that could be derived from such an observations ???

Answer 1

The density of liquid B is more than the liquid A as more upthrust is exerted on the body in liquid B and hence it sinks less.

Answer 2

The main conclusion that can be drawn from this observation is based on the difference in density of both liquids. The density of liquid A is less than the density of liquid B

Each liquid has its own density since density is a distinguishing attribute of a substance.

The depth to which an object will sink in a liquid is determined by its density.

• A body floats in a liquid if its density is less than that of the liquid.
• If the body's density exceeds that of the liquid, it will sink.
• If the body's density is equal to the liquid's density, the body will remain suspended.

In the given situation, the body sinks in liquid A more than it sinks in liquid B

That is, the density of liquid A is less than the density of liquid B
