प्रश्न
Figure shows the same block of wood floating in three different liquids A, B and C of densities ρ1, ρ2 and ρ3 respectively. Which of the liquid has the highest density? Give a reason for your answer.
उत्तर
The upthrust on the body by each liquid is the same and equal to the weight of the body.
However, upthrust = Volume submerged × ρL × g,
For the liquid C, since the volume submerged is least so the density ρ3 must be maximum.
