Question

For a body floating in a liquid with some portion outside, the weight of the liquid displaced by the fully immersed body ___________.

• A. should be more than the weight of the body
• B. should be equal to the weight of the body
• C. should be less than the weight of the body
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A should be more than the weight of the body

As body floats with some portion outside means density of body is less than that of liquid.

So for the same volume as body, the weight of liquid displaced, should be more than that of the body.
