MCQ
A ship displaces water equal to its own weight. This floating behaviour is explained by:
Unit-5 Pressure and Deformation in Solids
A Archimedes' principle
B Pascal's law
C Hooke's law
D Hooke's law of springs
Explanation

The ship floats because the upthrust equals the weight of the displaced water, which balances its own weight.
