UPSC NDA-1 – 2018
– An object floats if the buoyant force is equal to or greater than its weight.
– The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
– Floating/sinking is determined by comparing the density of the object (or its average density for irregularly shaped objects) to the density of the liquid.
