A leak proof cylinder of length 1m,1m, made of a metal which has very low coefficient of expansion is floating vertically in water at 0oC{0}^{o}C such that its height above the water surface is 20cm.20cm . When the temperature of water is increased to 4oC,{4}^{o}C, the height of the cylinder above the water surface becomes 21cm.21cm . The density of water at T=4oC,T = {4}^{o}C, relative to the density at T=0oCT = {0}^{o}C is close to:A leak proof cylinder of length 1m, made of a metal which has very low coefficient of expansion is floating vertically

Options

  1. A1.261.26
  2. B1.041.04
  3. C1.011.01
  4. D1.031.03

Correct answer

C. 1.011.01

Step-by-step solution

A leak proof cylinder of length 1m, made of a metal which has very low coefficient of expansion is floating vertically
According to Archemedes Principle, weight of the body is balanced by the upward thrust force due to buoyancy.

At 0°C0 ° C, mg=A(100−20)ρ0°Cgmg = A ( 100 - 20 ) {ρ}_{0 ° C}g, where AA is area of cross-section of cylinder and ρ0°C{ρ}_{0 ° C} is density of water at 0°C0 ° C.
At 4°C4 ° C, mg=A(100−21)ρ4°Cgmg = A ( 100 - 21 ) {ρ}_{4 ° C}g, where ρ4°C{ρ}_{4 ° C} is density of water at 4°C4 ° C.
ρ4°Cρ0°C=8079=1.01\dfrac{{ρ}_{4 ° C}}{{ρ}_{0 ° C}} = \dfrac{80}{79} = 1.01
