A body of density $ρ$ sinks in a liquid of density $ρ_{L}$ . The densities $ρ$ and $ρ_{L}$ , are related as :
(a) $ρ$ = $ρ_{L}$ (b) $ρ$ < $ρ_{L}$
(c) $ρ$ > $ρ_{L}$ (d) nothing can be said.

State the condition under which the body sinks, when it is immersed inside the liquid. Consider ρ to be the density of the block and $ρ_{L}$ to be the density of the liquid.
