Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 263

Question: A hemispherical bowl just floats without sinking in a liquid ofdensity 1.2 × 103kg/m3. If outer diameter and the density of the bowl are 1 m and 2 × 104 kg/m3 respectively, then the inner diameter of the bowl will be [SCRA 1998]

Options:

A)0.94 m

B)0.97 m

C)0.98 m

D)0.99 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Weight of the bowl = mg= Vρg

=43π[(D2)3(d2)3]ρg

where D = Outer diameter ,

d = Inner diameter ρ = Density of bowlWeight of the liquid displaced by the bowl =Vσg

=43π(D2)3σg where σ is the density of the liquid.

For the flotation 43π(D2)3σg=43π[(D2)3(d2)3]ρg

therefore (12)3×1.2×103=[(12)3(d2)3]2×104

By solving we get d = 0.98 m.
