Question

what would happen if the density of the material is the same as that of the surrounding liquid?
​

Answer 1

If the density of the object is equal to the density of the liquid, the object when placed in the liquid would have neutral buoyancy. The object when placed in the liquid would sink until it was submerged and then would only move up or down if acted on by forces other than buoyancy.

• If an object's density is less than water's density (1 g/cm³), it will float. ... When an object is neutrally buoyant, meaning it neither sinks nor floats, then the weight of the object is equal to the upward buoyant force exerted by the water. When neutrally buoyant in water, the object also has the same density as water.
