An aluminium sphere is dipped into water. Which of the following is true?
Options
- ABuoyancy in water at ( 0^ C ) will be same as that in water at ( 4^ C )
- BBuoyancy will be less in water at ( 0^ C ) than that in water at ( 4^ C )
- CBuoyancy may be more or less in water at ( 4^ C ) depending on the radius of the sphere
- DBuoyancy will be more in water at ( 0 ^ C ) than that in water at ( 4 ^ C )
Correct answer
B. Buoyancy will be less in water at ( 0^ C ) than that in water at ( 4^ C )
Step-by-step solution
As buoyancy at (0^ C , F _ b = V ₀ ~g ) and buoyancy at (4^ C , F _ b ^ = V ₄ ~g ) ( F_ b F_ b ^ = ₀ ₄ <1 ) (density of water at (4^ C ) is maximum) i.e., ( F _ b < F _ b ^ )
