Answer 2

Explanation:

. Everything displaces water equal to its volume. If the displaced water is more than the weight of a thing, then the thing floats, otherwise it sinks in water.empty bottle floats as it has a larger surface area but a small iron nail sinks as it has a less surface area then the empty bowl so the water displaced by the iron nail is less than the empty bowl.
