A block of wood is floating in water such that 1 / 3^ rd of it is submerged in water when the same block is floated in alcohol, 1 / 2 of it's volume is submerged. Now a mixture of water and alcohol is made taking equal volume of both and block is floated in it. What is the % of it's volume that is now submerged.
Correct answer
040
Step-by-step solution
aligned & m g= _w v 3 g= _A v 2 g (i) & _ mixure = _w v₀+ _A v₀ 2 v₀ = _w+ _A 2 & m g= [ _w+ _A 2 ] [ v n ] g (ii) aligned From equation (i) & (ii) _w v 3 g= v g 2 n [ _w+ 2 _w 3 ] ; 1 3 = 1 2 n [ 5 3 ] n= 5 2
