उत्तर
Observation: Volume of a block of wood immersed in glycerine is smaller as compared to the volume of block immersed in water.
Explanation: Density of glycerine is more than that of water. Hence, glycerine exerts more upthrust on the block of wood than water, causing it to float in glycerine with a smaller volume.
