b. Object 2 is released in the center of a beaker full of oil, which is slightly less dense than water. In the space provided, sketch the final position of the block. Explain your reasoning. On the basis of your answers above, what must be true in order for an object to remain at rest when released in the center of an incompressible liquid? d. Generalize your answers above to answer the following questions. How does the density of a fluid compare to that of (1) an object that floats in the liquid and (2) an object that sinks in the liquid? Explain. 2. A solid sphere of mass m floats in a beaker of water as shown. A second sphere of the same material but of mass 2m is placed in a second beaker of water. In the space provided, sketch the final position of the second sphere. a. In its final position, how does the buoyant force on the larger sphere compare to its weight? Sphere of mass m Sphere of mass 2m b. How does the volume displaced by the larger sphere compare to that displaced by the smaller sphere? c. Are your answers to questions a and b consistent with Archimedes' principle? Explain
