Question

The volume of water displaced by the object gives___.

• A. weight of the submerged part of the object
• B. weight of the entire object
• C. density of the submerged part of the object
• D. density of the entire object

Answer 1

The correct option is A

weight of the submerged part of the object

When a body floats in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced by its immersed part is equal to the total weight of the body.

The weight of the floating body = Weight of the liquid displaced by its immersed part(i.e., buoyant force)
