A block of gold and a block of wood both...

A block of gold and a block of wood both have the same volume. If both are submerged in water, then write in two points that which block will experience more buoyant force?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Density of gold `gt` density of water `gt` density of wood.
When a block of gold and a block of wood are submerged in water, the block of wood will experience more buoyant force.
