Question
two objects A and B have same volume but specific gravity of A is 2 while specific gravity of B is 1/2. Which weighs more in air? Why? Which floats in water? Why? Which one will have a larger buoyant force acting on it when placed in water? two objects A and B have same volume but specific gravity of A is 2 while specific gravity of B is 1/2.

Which weighs more in air? Why? Which floats in water? Why? Which one will have a larger buoyant force acting on it when placed in water?Explanation / Answer
(a) Object A because it has higher specific gravity. As both the object have same volume hence object A have higher mass and weight
(b) B. Its specific gravity is less than the specific gravity of water (1) hence it will float.
(c) A. Because whole block will be merged into the water as it has higher specific gravity and buoyant force is proportional to the voluem merged in liquid hence block A
