A body is floating on water at 40°C. If the temperature reaches 100°C, then the body will:
A
Sink fully
B
Float fully
C
Have a greater part submerged under water
D
Have no change in its position
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
As water is heated toward 100°C, its density decreases. A floating body must therefore displace a larger volume of less-dense water to support the same weight, so more of the body becomes submerged.
