An object just floats in water. If common salt is added into the water what will happen

Correct option is C

Ans.(c) The volume of the object immersed in the liquid decreases

Explanation:
The correct answer is the volume of the object immersed in the liquid decreases. When salt is added to water, its density increases. Since the buoyant force depends on the density of the fluid, a denser liquid will exert a greater upward force, making the object float higher and reducing the portion submerged.

Information Booster:
● The principle involved is Archimedes' Principle, which states that an object floats when the buoyant force equals its weight.
● Adding salt increases water density, making it easier for objects to float.
● The Dead Sea is an example where high salt concentration makes people float effortlessly.
● This is why ships float better in seawater than freshwater.
