If a fresh egg is put into a beaker filled with water, it sinks. On dissolving a lot of salt in the water, the egg begins to rise and then floats. Why ?
The density of water is 1.0 g Cm-3. The density of iron is 7.8 × 10″3 g Cm-3. The density of mercury is 13.6 g Cm-3.
Ans the following:
Will a piece of iron float or sink in water?
Explain the following statement:
It is easier to cut with a sharp knife than with a blunt one.
Deduce an expression for the pressure at depth inside a liquid.
What is meant by the term buoyancy?
The base of the cylindrical vessel measures 300 cm2. Water is poured into it up to a depth of 6 cm. Calculate the pressure of water on the base in the vessel.
How is thrust different from pressure?
A body will sink if the weight of the body is greater than the buoyant force.
Assertion (A): The buoyant force on a submerged rigid object can be considered to be acting at the center of mass of the object.
Reason (R): In rigid body, force distributed uniformly through its volume can be considered to be acting at the centre of mass of the body.
