A body will float in a liquid if weight of the liquid displaced by the body is ________or_______the weight of the body.

Ac cording to Archimede's principle, when a body is immersed wholly or partly in a liquid at rest, it loses some of its weight. The loss in weight of the body in the liquid is equal to weight of liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body. From this principle, the law of floatation, is dedcued which states : A body will float in a liquid, if weight of liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body is atleast equal to or greater then the weight of the body. Read the above passage and answer the following questions : (i) A boat having a lenght of 3 m and breadth 2m is floating on a lake. The boat sinks by 1 cm when a man gets on it. What is the mass of the man ? (ii) What values of life do you learn from the law of floatation ?

In Fig. , a rectangular block floats in a liquid . A block of mass m = 0.500 kg and density rho = 700 kg//m^(3) floats face down in a liquid of density rho_(f) = 1200 kg//m^(3) . What are the magnitude of the buoyant force on the block from the liquid , the weight of the liquid displaced by the block (liquid that would be in the space now occupied by the block ) , and the mass of that displaced liquid ? What fraction of the block's volume is submerged ? What fraction of its height is submerged ?

A body floats in a liquid if the buoyant force is

Assertion : A piece of ice floats in water, the level of water remains unchanged when the ice melts completely. Reason : According to Archimede's principle, the loss in weight of the body in the liquid is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body.

Identify the correct choice: (A) when a body floats in a liquid, it displaces the liquid whose weight is equal to its own weight. (B). When a body sinks in a liquid, it displaces the liquid whose volume is equal to its own volume.
