Question

What are the conditions of floatation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Condition for Flotation. An object will float if the buoyancy force exerted on it by the fluid balances its weight, i.e. if FB=mg F B = mg . But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. ... When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

There prevails three conditions when a solid body falls in a liquid.

1.~ The buoyant force B >W; the weight of the solid. In this case the solid will float on the surface of the liquid.

2. ~B=W. In this case the solid will float in the liquid (not on the top surface) in equilibrium condition.

3. ~B <W. In this condition the solid will not float. It will drown in the liquid.

Here W =weight of the solid.

B =buoyant force. It means the weight of the liquid displaced by the solid body.

Hope this will give the brief idea.
