Question

6 Two rods of same weight and equal length have different thickness. They are held vertically on the surface of the sand as shown in fig. Which one of this will sink more? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The thinner rod will sink more

Explanation:

Pressure = force / area which means it is inversely proportional to area .

Thus, as the area decreases , the pressure increases. As the pressure increases, the rod will sink more.

Thicker rod implies more area, thus.... it will exert less pressure and it will sink less.

Answer 2

That is because you said that two rods have the same weight and equal length BUT they have DIFFERENT thicknesses which means they both have different density levels. So the rod which has a more density than the sand will sink more.
