The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to fill in the blanks with appropriate terms based on the principles of buoyancy and density. Let's go through each blank step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Blank (i)**: A body sinks when its weight is **more** than the buoyant force acting on it. - Explanation: When the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force, the object will sink because the downward force (weight) exceeds the upward force (buoyant force). 2. **Blank (ii)**: A body floats when its weight is **less** than the buoyant force acting on it. - Explanation: When the weight of the object is less than the buoyant force, the object will float because the upward force (buoyant force) is greater than the downward force (weight). 3. **Blank (iii)**: A body sinks if the density of the body is **more** than the density of the liquid. - Explanation: If the density of the object is greater than the density of the liquid, it will sink because it displaces a volume of liquid that weighs less than the object itself. 4. **Blank (iv)**: A body floats if the density of the body is **less** than the density of the liquid. - Explanation: If the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, it will float because it displaces a volume of liquid that weighs more than the object. ### Final Answers - (i) more - (ii) less - (iii) more - (iv) less ### Summary of the Filled Blanks A body sinks when its weight is **more** than the buoyant force acting on it. A body floats when its weight is **less** than the buoyant force acting on it. A body sinks if the density of the body is **more** than the density of the liquid. A body floats if the density of the body is **less** than the density of the liquid.
