Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

Here,

we have,

As per the definition of pressure,


p = (f)/(a)

Putting f = m.g and keeping a constant.


p = (m.g)/(a)

Keeping m = d×v.


p = (d * v * g)/(a)

Keep v= a.h


p = (d(a.h)g)/(a)

Cancelling a from numerator and denominator,

we get,

p = hdg

Proved.

Difference between sinking and floating are:

  • A body sinks when a liquid density is lessor than that of an object. Whereas, A body floats when the density of water is equal to the density of an object.
  • In sinking the condition is d1(of water) > d2(of an object). Whereas, in floating the condition is d1(of water) = d2(of an object).

Hope it helps....
