Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsMechanical Properties of Fluids
Two ice cubes of side 10 cm , having cavity of volume 20 ~cm ^3 at centre of cube but filled with different materials A and B respectively. The specific gravity of material A is 4.9 and specific gravity of material B is 1.9. Now these cubes are placed in two different vessels of same base area as shown in figure. The water level before putting blocks in vessels are same. Assume that ice melts uniformly from all sides
Options
- Athe ratio of initial submerged volumes of the blocks containing A and B is 49 46
- Bthe ratio of initial submerged volumes of the blocks containing A and B is 49 / 19
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
V_A g= (m_ i c e +m_A ) g and V_B g= (m_ i c e +m_B ) g V_A V_B = m_ i c e +m_A m_ i c e +m_B = 0.9 980+4.9 20 0.9 980+1.9 20 = 49 46 Also A will start sinking first.
