Explain why an object is immersed in liquid ?

1 Answer

Answer :

When an object is partially or completely immersed in a liquid, the object removes the liquid in front of its volume. The weight of this removed fluid acts upwards on the object and is called buoyancy. If the weight of the object is greater than its mass, then the object is submerged in that liquid.
