Question

If an object is floating on a liquid, we can then say that the object is

• A. as dense as the liquid
• B. denser than the liquid
• C. less dense than the liquid
• D. none of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

less dense than the liquid

1. Density is defined as how much mass contained in a volume.
2. If the object is floating on the liquid we can say that the object has less than or equal to the density of the liquid .
3. This is because of the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of the object .

Hence,option C is the correct answer.
