Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 271

Question: Two non-mixing liquids of densities $ \rho $ and n$ \rho $ $ (n>1) $ are put in a container. The height of each liquid is h. A solid cylinder of length L and density d is put in this container. The cylinder floats with its axis vertical and length $ pL(p<1) $ in the denser liquid. The density d is equal to:

Options:

A) $ \left{ l+\left( n+l \right)p \right}\rho ~~ $

B) $ ~\left{ 2+\left( n+1 \right)p \right}\rho $

C) $ \left{ 2+\left( n-1 \right)p \right}\rho $

D) $ \left{ l+\left( n-1 \right)p \right}\rho $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] As we know, Pressure$ P=Vdg $ Here $ LAdg=(pL)A(n\rho )g $ $ +(1-p)LA\rho g $ $ \Rightarrow ,,d=(1-p)\rho +pn,\rho =[1+(n-1)p]\rho $
