Question

Two identical block of ice float in water as shown, then:
(A) Block A displaces a greater volume of water since the pressure acts on a smaller bottom area.
(B) Block B displaces a greater volume of water since the pressure is less on the bottom.
(C) The two blocks displace equal volumes of water since they have the same weight.
(D) Block A displaces a greater volume of water since its submerged end is lower in the water.

Answer 1

Answer:(d) the two blocks displace equal volume of water since they have the same specific gravity and same mass

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (C). Two identical blocks of ice float in water than the two blocks displace equal volumes of water since they have the same weight.

Explanation:

• According to Archimedes' law, a submerged object will experience an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced.
• This upward pressure is what makes the ice float.
• Two identical blocks will have the same specific gravity as well as the same mass.
• Due to the same gravity and mass, the two blocks of ice displace equal volumes of water when floated on the water.
• Ice is somewhat less dense than water ($1 g/cm^{3}$), with a density of roughly $0.9 g/cm^{3}$.

Thus, two identical blocks of ice when floating in the water, the two blocks displace equal volumes of water since they have the same weight.
