A solid sphere of volume and density floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids of densities and respectively. If , then the ratio of volume of the parts of the sphere in upper and lower liquid is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Volume of solid sphere.
Let Volume of the part of the sphere immersed in a liquid of density Volume of the part of the sphere immersed in liquid of density .
According to law of floatation,
Hence from eqns (i) and (ii),
