當相同的硬幣各自沉到油和水的情況

兩個重力相等的鐵塊體積相等，又因為他們的密度比煤油和水大，所以會浸沒在液體中。放在水中的鐵塊所受浮力F浮1=V排p水g因為鐵塊的體積V鐵=V排所以F浮1=V鐵p水g放在煤油中的鐵塊所受的浮力F浮2=V排p油g因為鐵塊的體積V鐵=V排所以F浮2=V鐵p油g煤油的密度比水小所以，你懂的。

比较密度大小就可以了。水的密度1000kg/m³；汽油密度750kg/m³；

(1000-750)/750=1/3即同样体积下水的浮力比汽油的浮力大1/3

因水的浮力比油大些,所以水的承托力會油大些,故硬幣在油中會下沉快些。

By Archimedes Principle, upthrust = weight of liquid displaced = pVg

where p is the density of liquid

V is the volume of the coin

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Net upward force acting on the coin

= Vdg - pVg where d is the density of coin material

= Vg(d - p)

Because density of oil is smaller than that of water, the term (d-p) for oil is larger than that for water. Therefore, the upward force acting on the coin is larger in oil than in water. This leads to a lower downward acceleration of the coin in oil. As a result, the coin in oil falls slower than the coin in water does. The coin in water thus reaches the bottom of the vessel earlier than the one in oil.

Sorry...I made a typing mistake.

The net DOWNWARD force = Vdg - pVg = Vg(d - p)

Hence, downward force in oil is larger than that in water. The coin in oil reaches the bottom first.

當然是油，油比水輕，油可以浮水面。

中英各異，你最好要求再解釋，我只會說自己正確。
