Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 270
Question: Two solids A and B float in water. It is observed that A floats with half its volume immersed and B floats with 2/3 of its volume immersed. Compare the densities of A and B
Options:
A)4 : 3
B)2 : 3
C)3 :4
D)1 : 3
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
If two different bodies A and B are floating in the same liquid then
$ \frac{{\rho _{A}}}{{\rho _{B}}}=\frac{{{(f _{in})} _{A}}}{{{(f _{in})} _{B}}}=\frac{1/2}{2/3}=\frac{3}{4} $
