Question

If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces, which is true? 1.the object will float because the gravitational force is greater than the buoyant force. 2.the object will sink because the gravitational force is greater than the buoyant force. 3.the object will float because the buoyant force is greater than the gravitational force.

Answer 1

2) Option B...............................

Answer 2

Answer:

2.the object will sink because the gravitational force is greater than the buoyant force.

Explanation:

As we know that buoyant force is defined as the force applied by the liquid which gives an upthrust to the object

Here we know that the upthrust on the object is calculated by the weight of the liquid displaced by the object

here it is given that

If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces,

So here the buoyant force of the liquid on the object will be less than the weight of the object

so it will sink down so correct answer will be

If the weight of an object is greater than the weight of the water that it displaces,
