Correct Answer - Option 1 : Water has a higher density as compared to ice.

The correct answer is option 1

Water has a higher density as compared to ice.

  • Ice is solid but it has a large number of empty spaces between its particles compared to the particles of water. Therefore, the ice’s density is less than that of water and the volume of ice is greater than that of water.
  • An object sinks into the liquid only when the density of the object is greater than the density of the water.
  • "principle of flotation" presented by Archimedes.
  • Archimedes principle states that, when a substance is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body.
