Question

Discuss the three possible cases for floating of objects in a liquid.

Answer 1

1. The condition for an object to float in liquid is determined by the density and buoyant force.
2. The three possible cases for floating of an object in liquid are as follows:

1. An object will float in liquid if its density (an average density) is less than that of liquid.
2. An object will Partially float in a liquid if its density is equal to that of the liquid.
3. An object will sink a liquid if its density is more than that of liquid.
