A piece of wood is floating in water. If we take it to the moon, it will:
ASink
BFloat with same volume submerged
CFloat with more volume submerged
DFloat with less volume submerged
✓ Correct Answer: B — Float with same volume submerged
Both weight and upthrust depend on 'g'. When 'g' changes, both change proportionally, so the fraction of the volume submerged remains the same.
