Question

Write to applications of flotation and sinking by drawing and also state a suitable reason

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:Following are some application of principle of flotation: Floating of ships. Submarines: Ballast tanks in submarine is filled with sea water so that it sinks. Icebergs floating on water.

• heavy objects sink and light objects float regardless of their size, shape or the type of material used to make them

• a true floating object must be wholly above the surface of the liquid

• all objects that float must contain some trapped air and that is the only reason why they float

• the amount of liquid on which the object floats matters somehow, i.e. an object will float higher in a larger volume or deeper liquid.
