When a solid is fully immersed in a liquid, the volume of the displaced liquid isGroup of answer choicesLess than the volume of the solid bodyDepending upon the manner in which the body is being immersed in the liquidEqual to the volume of the solid bodyGreater than the volume of the solid body
Solution
The answer is "Equal to the volume of the solid body". This is based on Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force (or upthrust) on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. So, when a solid is fully immersed in a liquid, the volume of the liquid displaced is equal to the volume of the solid body.
