When does an object float on a liquid?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) When the density of the object is less than that of the liquid.
· An object floats on a liquid when its density is less than the density of the liquid.
· This causes the buoyant force exerted by the liquid to be greater than the gravitational force pulling the object down, allowing the object to float.
Information Booster:
· If the densities are the same , the object may remain suspended in the liquid.
· If the object's density is higher than that of the liquid , the object will sink.
