Solids and liquids both expands on heating. The density of substance decreases on expanding according to the relation rho_(2) = (rho_(1))/(1 + gamma(T_(2)- T_(1))) , where , rho_(1) rarr "density at" T_(1) , rho_(2) rarr "density at" T_(2) , gamma rarr coefficient of volume expansion of substances. When a solid is submerged in a liquid , liquid exerts an upward force on solid which is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by submerged part of solid. Solid will float or sink depends on relative densities of solid and liquid .
