what is the principle of floatation??????

Answer:
Explanation:
Principle of Floatation
1. The principle of floatation states that when an object floats in a liquid the buoyant force/upthrust that acts on the object is equal to the weight of the object.
2. As shown in the figure above, if the weight of the object (W) = upthrust (F), the object is in balance and therefore float on the surface of the fluid.
3. If the weight of the object > upthrust, the object will sink into the fluid.
I hope it is clear
The principle of floatation are:-
The principle of floatation are:-i) The weight W of body acting vertically downwards, through the centre of gravity G of the body. This force has a tendency to sink the body.

This force has a tendency to sink the body.ii) The upthrust of the liquid acting vertically upwards, through the centre of buoyancy B i.e., the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid. The upthrust (or buoyant force) is equal in magnitude to the weight of the liquid displaced. This force has a tendency to make the body float.
