alleryStart learning →A floating block moves from fresh water to denser brine. It sits:
AMore deeply in the brine
BEntirely below the brine
CLess deeply in the brine
DAt exactly the same depth
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Less deeply in the brine
Denser brine supplies the same displaced mass with a smaller submerged volume.
