Two blocks of equal bolume, one of iron ...

Two blocks of equal bolume, one of iron and one of aluminium, are dropped into a body of water. Which block will experience the greater buoyant force? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Same buoyant force, because buoyant force on the object depends on the volume of fluid displaced by it and is independent of its mass.
