Question

Write three causes for a body when it is immersed in a liquid based on principle of floatation.

Please Answer fast

Answer 1

Answer:

A body floats in a liquid if:

1. Density of the material of the body is less than or equal to the density of the liquid.

2. If density of material of body is equal to density of liquid, the body floats fully submerged in liquid in neutral equilibrium.

3. When body floats in neutral equilibrium, the weight of the body is equal to the weight of displaced liquid.

4. The centre of gravity of the body and centre of gravity of the displaced liquid should be in one vertical line.

Answer 2

Answer:

The displaced volume of fluid is equal to the volume of the object which is immersed in the fluid.

If the weight of the object is greater than the upthrust, then the object will sink in the fluid.

If the weight of the object is equal to the

upthrust, then the object is balanced making the object float.
