To solve the question, we need to understand the principles of buoyancy and how objects behave when immersed in a liquid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Floating and Sinking**: - A body will float in a liquid if the weight of the object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it. This is based on Archimedes' principle, which states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. 2. **Filling in the First Blank**: ...
