Expert Answer
Consider a floating object of mass m, volume v and density 
. Let the volume of the
submerged part of the object in the liquid be 
and density of the liquid is 
. The volume of the liquid displaced by the object is also vi then,
Weight of the object =vg
Weight of the liquid displaced by the solid = 
From the law of floatation
Weight of the object = Weight of the liquid displaced by the solid
