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.

State whether the following statement is true or false :
The buoyant force depends on the nature of object immersed in the liquid
What is meant by the term ‘buoyancy’ ?
A body X sinks in water, but a body Y floats on water. The density of the body X is ......... than the density of body Y.
The density of water is 1.0 g Cm-3. The density of iron is 7.8 × 10″3 g Cm-3. The density of mercury is 13.6 g Cm-3.
Answer the following:
Will a piece of iron float or sink in mercury?
For a floating body, how is its weight related to the buoyant force?
Deduce an expression for the pressure at depth inside a liquid.
A simple U tube contains mercury to the same level in both of its arms. If water is poured to a height of 13.6 cm in one arm, how much will be the rise in mercury level in the other arm?
Given : density of mercury = 13.6 x 103 kg m-3 and density of water = 103 kg m-3.
