The true statement about floating objects is that the displaced volume of fluid is greater than the volume of the object.

FLOATING:

  • Floating refers to the position of an object on a liquid substance. A floating object will move freely on the liquid.

The density of the object and liquid determines whether the object will float or sink. Based on this, the following applies:

  1. An object will float when its density is lesser than that of the liquid
  2. An object will sink when its density is greater than that of the liquid.

However, according to this question, it is true that the displaced volume of fluid is greater than the volume of the object floating on it.
