I am studying Floatation in school and I have some doubts. I get that if an object is denser than the liquid its placed on, it will sink, and if it is less dense then it floats. But what happens when the density of both (the object and the liquid) are same? Will it float or sink?
My notes say that if it has a lesser density, then it float PARTIALLY &
if it has an equal density to that of the liquid it will FLOAT.
But how and why? I searched the net and found different explanations that confused me even more. Hope you can help.
KUDOS. :D
