Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 188

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} $
