MCQ
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 $B$
- A$4:3$
- B$2:3$
- ✓$3:4$
- D$1:3$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$3:4$
c
(c)If two different bodies $A$ and $B $ are floating in the same liquid then $\frac{{{\rho _A}}}{{{\rho _B}}} = \frac{{{{({f_{in}})}_A}}}{{{{({f_{in}})}_B}}} = \frac{{1/2}}{{2/3}} = \frac{3}{4}$
(c)If two different bodies $A$ and $B $ are floating in the same liquid then $\frac{{{\rho _A}}}{{{\rho _B}}} = \frac{{{{({f_{in}})}_A}}}{{{{({f_{in}})}_B}}} = \frac{{1/2}}{{2/3}} = \frac{3}{4}$
