To "displace" something means to push it away. Presumably somebody was thinking about pushing the force of gravity away from a certain area, thus canceling gravity. It doesn't seem likely that this is possible at all.

Will a liquid of higher density displace a liquid of lower density?

Yes, a liquid of higher density will displace a liquid of lower density when the two liquids are immiscible. This is because the liquid with the higher density will sink below the other liquid due to gravity, displacing it.


How do they float on water?

Objects float on water when they displace an amount of water equal to their weight, creating an upward force called buoyancy that counteracts gravity. This buoyant force is greater than the weight of the object, allowing it to float. Objects like boats or ships are designed to displace enough water to keep them afloat.


What is the difference between an objects that float and the objects thasink in water?

Objects that float in water are less dense than water, so they displace enough water to counteract the force of gravity pulling them down. Objects that sink are denser than water and displace less water than their weight, causing them to be pulled down by gravity.


Do gravity cause things to float?

No, gravity is responsible for pulling objects towards the center of the Earth. In order for things to float, they need to displace enough water or air to create an upward buoyant force that balances the downward gravitational force, allowing them to stay on the surface of the water or air.


What makes Things sink?

Objects sink when their density is greater than the density of the fluid they are in. This causes them to displace a volume of fluid that weighs less than the object itself, leading to the object sinking due to the force of gravity.

How ship float on water?

Ships, whether made of wood or metal, have a lighter specific gravity than water. Ships actually displace the water rather than floating on it.
