Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 281

Question: Two bodies are in equilibrium when suspended in water from the arms of a balance. The mass of one body is 36 g and its density is 9 g / cm3. If the mass of the other is 48 g, its density in g / cm3 is [CBSE PMT 1994]

Options:

A)43

B)32

C)3

D)5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Apparent weight =V(ρσ)g=mρ(ρσ)g

where m= mass of the body,ρ= density of the body

σ= density of water

If two bodies are in equilibrium then their apparent weight must be equal.

m1ρ1(ρ1σ)=m2ρ2(ρ2σ)

therefore 369(91)=48ρ2(ρ21) By solving we get ρ2=3 .
