(C) The sunken lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight.
(D) The floating lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight

Answer 1

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.
