Question

What is the maximum weight which a floating body may have?

Answer 1

1. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
2. $Density\left(\rho \right)=\frac{mass\left(m\right)}{volume\left(V\right)}$
3. $m=\rho \times V$
4. Density of water is $1gm/c{m}^3$.
5. Hence, mass is$1gm$ if the volume is $1c{m}^3$.
6. Thus, the maximum weight a body can have is $1mg$ in a volume of $1c{m}^3$.
