(a) In which liquid does the body experience the greatest buoyant force?
(b) Which liquid has the least density?
(c) Which liquid has the highest density?

उत्तर
a) Buoyant force is same in each case as the wt. of the body is same in each case and Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body which balances the wt. of body.
(b) The liquid A has the least density as body immerses the maximum.
(c) Liquid C has the highest density as the body immerses the least.
