A density bottle has a marking 25 mL on it. It means that:
- the mass of density bottle is 25 g.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of any liquid in it.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of water, but more volume of liquid denser than water.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of water, but more volume of a liquid lighter than water.
The correct statement is:
- The buoyant force on a body is equal to the volume of the liquid displaced by it.
- The buoyant force on a body is equal to the volume of the body.
- The buoyant force on a body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it.
- The buoyant force on a body is always equal to the weight of the body.
The weight of a body is more than the buoyant force experienced by it, due to a liquid. The body will:
- sink
- float with its some part outside the liquid.
- float just below the surface of liquid.
- float with whole of its volume above the surface of liquid.
