MCQ
A solid sphere of specific gravity $27$ has a concentric spherical cavity and it just sinks in water. The ratio of cavity radius to that of outer radius of sphere is
  • A
    $\frac{{{{\left( {28} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{{{{\left( {30} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
  • $\frac{{{{\left( {26} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{{{{\left( {24} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{{{\left( {26} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
c
From law of flotation

$\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3} \times 1 \times \mathrm{g}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \rho \mathrm{g}$

$\mathrm{R}^{3}=\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \times 27$

$\frac{r^{3}}{R^{3}}=\frac{26}{27} \Rightarrow \frac{r}{R}=\frac{(26)^{1 / 3}}{3}$

To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal and its frequency $f$. The engineer find that $d$ is proportional to $S ^{1 / n}$. The value of $n$ is:
