Question

Relative density of liquid A is 4.8 and that of B is 1.4.A body with relative density 3.7 is immersed in both the liquids.Explain wheather the body will float or sink.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS:

•LIQUID 'UNKNOWN' WILL FLOAT ON LIQUID 'A'.

•LIQUID 'UNKNOWN' WILL SINK IN LIQUID 'B'.

Explanation:

WE SOLVE LIKE THIS:

•RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIQUID 'A' - 4.8

•RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIQUID 'B' - 1.4

•RELATIVE DENSITY OF BODY 'UNKNOWN' - 3.7

SO,

SINCE THE R.D OF LIQUID 'A' IS MORE THAN THE R.D OF LIQUID 'UNKNOWN',

•SO,THE 'UNKNOWN' LIQUID WILL FLOAT ON LIQUID 'A'.

•SINCE THE R.D OF LIQUID 'B' IS LESS THAN THE R.D OF LIQUID 'UNKNOWN',SO THE LIQUID 'UNKNOWN' WILL SINK IN LIQUID 'B'.

SO,

•LIQUID 'UNKNOWN' WILL FLOAT ON LIQUID 'A'.

•LIQUID 'UNKNOWN' WILL SINK IN LIQUID 'B'.
