Question

A piece of floats
on
oil.
What fraction
of its volume
immersed. ( Density of
wax = 0.95 gcm³,Density of oil = 1.1 gcm³?)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.86

Explanation:

Given,

A piece of wax floats on oil.

Density of wax = 0.95 gcm³

Density of oil = 1.1 gcm³

To find : What fraction of its volume immersed.

Solution:

Let the volume of wax be X and x₀ be the volume of wax immersed.

Then, applying law of floatation,

volume of wax immersed/ volume of wax = denisty of wax / density of oil

or,  x₀ / X = 0.95 / 1.1

or,  x₀ / X = 0.86
