FLOATING BODIES CLASS 9

 

 Objects having a density less than the liquid in which they are immersed, float on the surface of the liquid.

 All objects experience a force of buoyancy when immersed in a fluid.

 When an object is immersed in a fluid it appears to lose weight (because of buoyancy).

 The apparent loss of weight of an object, which is immersed in a liquid, is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the object. (Archimedes' principle)
