Question

what happen if the buoyant force is less than the weight of an object in the liquid? 1.That object will sink completely 2.The object will sink partially in the liquid 3.The object will remain floating in the liquid 4.The object will float​

Answer 1

That object will sink completely.

• The sinking or floating of a solid object into a liquid medium is dependent upon two main factors - 1) The weight of the solid object and 2) The buoyant force of the liquid medium.
• When the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force, the object tends to sink in that liquid medium.
• If the reverse thing occurs, then object will float in the liquid. (buoyant force > weight of that object)
