Question

A solid floats in a liquid in the partially submerged position:

• A. the solid exerts a force equal to its weight on the liquid
• B. the liquid exerts a force of buoyancy on the solid which is equal to the weight of the solid
• C. the weight of the displaced liquid equals the weight of the solid
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D all of the above

Given that solid floats in a liquid, in the partially submerged position.

The weight of the displaced liquid will be equal to the weight of the solid, and the solid exerts a force equal to the weight of the liquid.

The weight of solid is equal to the buoyancy force exerted by the liquid on the solid. Comparing all ;

Option$D$is correct.
