A cylindrical body floats in water such that one - fourth of its volume lies above the surface of water. Find the density of the material with which the body is made of.
Answers
Explanation:
Given, volume of the above the surface of water
(volume of the body) <br>
Volume of the body inside water
(volume of the body) <br>
fraction of the body inside water
<br>
Relative density of the material with the body is made of
<br>
Density of the material
<br> Center of buoyancy : The center of mass of the fluid displaced by a floating or submerged body.
Answer:
Given, volume of the body above the surface of water = 1/4 (volume of the body)
Therefore, volume of the body inside water = 3/4 (volume of the body)
=> fraction of the body inside water = 3/4
Therefore, relative density of the body inside water = 3/4
Therefore, relative density of the material with the body is made of = 3/4 = 0.75
Therefore, density of the material = 0.75 g cm^–3
Center of buoyancy: The center of mass of the fluid displaced by a floating or submerged body.
