Two objects of different shapes, sizes, and materials, are floating in water (density $1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ ). Object A floats with $60 \%$ of its volume submerged, while object B floats with $50 \%$ of its volume submerged. What can be concluded about the densities $\rho_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\rho_{\mathrm{B}}$ of the two objects? A) $\rho_{\mathrm{A}}=\rho_{\mathrm{B}}$ B) $\rho_{\mathrm{A}}\rho_{\mathrm{B}}$ C) $\rho_{\mathrm{A}}
