(4) Pascal

 A body is just floating on the surface of a liquid. The density of the body is same as that of the liquid. The body is slightly pushed down. What will happen to the body ?
(1) It will slowly come back to its earlier position

(2) It will remain submerged, where it is left

(3) It will sink

(4) It will come out violently
