A spherical body of density is floating half immersed in a liquid of density d . If is the surface tension of the liquid, then the diameter of the body is
Options
- A3 g(2 -d)
- B6 g(2 -d)
- C4 g(2 -d)
- D12 g(2 -d)
Correct answer
A. 3 g(2 -d)
Step-by-step solution
Weight of body = Buoyant force + Force of surface tension aligned 4 3 r^3 g & = 2 3 r^3 d g+2 r 2 3 r^3 g(2 -d) & =2 r aligned So, r^2= 3 g(2 -d) So, r= 3 g(2 -d)
