    Question

    An object will float in a liquid if its density is

    ____.
    A Equal to the density of the liquid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Exactly twice the density of the liquid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Less than the density of the liquid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Greater than the density of the liquid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    An object floats when the buoyant force exerted by the liquid equals or exceeds the object's weight. This occurs when the objectтАЩs density is less than that of the liquid. In such cases, the object displaces a volume of liquid equivalent to its weight before being fully submerged, resulting in flotation. Denser objects sink as they displace less liquid relative to their weight.
