To determine whether the body will float or sink in the fluid, we need to compare the densities of the body and the fluid. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Given Data - Mass of the body, \( m_b = 2 \, \text{kg} \) - Volume of the body, \( V_b = 0.001 \, \text{m}^3 \) - Density of the fluid, \( \rho_f = \frac{4}{3} \, \text{gm/cm}^3 \) ### Step 2: Convert Fluid Density to kg/m³ ...
