Three identical sized blocks of lead, aluminium and zinc are submerged in water.
Given that, at room temperature:
Density of Aluminium = 2.7 g/cm3
Density of Lead = 11.29 g/cm3
Density of Zinc = 7.13 g/cm3
How would the buoyant force on lead block - (BF)lead, buoyant force on aluminium block - (BF)alum and buoyant force on zinc block (BF)zinc compare with each other?
1
(BF)alum > (BF)zinc > (BF)lead
2
(BF)zinc > (BF)alum > (BF)lead
3
(BF)lead > (BF)zinc > (BF)alum
4
(BF)lead = (BF)zinc = (BF)alum
