HQP:Physics:KS4:Pressure and Density:Malcolm Thomson

A block of a lightweight material is placed in a tank of water and is observed to sink so that its bottom surface is a depth of 50 mm below the surface.
Which of the following statements is/are true?

I The pressure of the water on the top and bottom surfaces of the block is equal.
II The same block placed in a more dense liquid floats nearer the surface.
III A more dense block of the same size floats at the same depth.

A I only.
B II only.
C I and II only
D I and III only
E I, II and III

Evidence – understanding of pressure and density
Response – design and carry out a practical activity in order to test hypothesis
