Question
A body held completely immersed inside a liquid experiences two forces: (i) $F_1$, the force due to gravity and (ii) $F_2$, the buoyant force. Draw a diagram showing the direction of these forces acting on the body and state the condition when the body will float or sink.
✓

Answer


If $F 1<F 2$ or $F 1=F 2$, the body will float.
If F1 > F2, the body will sink.
