Question

A body is just floating on the surface of a liquid. The density of the body is same as that of the liquid. The body is slightly pushed down. What will happen to the body

• A. It will slowly come back to its earlier position
• B. It will remain submerged, where it is left.
• C. It will sink
• D. It will come out violently

Answer 1

The correct option is B It will remain submerged, where it is left.

The body will remain at the place where it was left , it is due to Archimedes principle as the upthrust applied by the fluid will be equal in magnitude and balance the weight of the body.
