If the density of an object is exactly equal to the density of a fluid, The object will: (a) float, (b) sink, (c ) stay at any place in the fluid so long as it is totally immersed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(c ) Stay at any height in the fluid because the weight is exactly balanced by the buoyant force. Wherever the object is placed, it stays at that place.
