Please go through the 3 statements provided in the picture first and read below.
I understand all three statements except the last statement which states "A floating body displaces an amount of fluid equal to its own weight." If so is assumed then, we come to conclude the same result as statement two in the picture attached.How can we reach the conclusion of statement three(density of object is smaller than that of liquid) of the picture assuming "A floating body displaces an amount of fluid equal to its own weight." Also this always leads to weight of body(W) = Upthrust experienced by it (U), doesn't it?
