What would be the behavior of an object that was immersed in a fluid if the object and the fluid had the same density? Explain.
Added by Eric G.
Step 1
Step 1: When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences two main forces - the force of buoyancy acting upward and the gravitational force acting downward. Show more…

Question: How would the density of an object be affected if the object were wet when weighed? (Increased or decreased. Explain). How would the density of an object be affected if the water from a tank splashed on the bench when the object was placed in the tank? (Increased or decreased. Explain).

A porous object, like a sponge is tossed into a liquid. At first the object floats on the liquid, but later sinks into the liquid. Explain how this is possible using archimedes principle and use the terms density buoyant force and force of gravity.
