A stone submerged in water displaces a volume of water

1) greater than volume of stone.
2) less than volume of stone.
3) equal to volume of stone.

If the stone were of low-enough density to be able to float, it would displace a volume of water
4) greater than its volume.
5) less than its volume.
6) equal to its volume.

Question 2

A certain force is required to keep a block of wood 1 m beneath the surface of water. The force required to keep it 2 m deep is

1) zero.
2) the same.
3) twice as much.
4) four times as much.

This is because
6) pressure increases with increased depth.
7) it displaces the same weight of water at any depth.
8) wood floats.
9) surface tension is not present beneath the surface.
