Question

WILL AN OBJECT OF DENSITY P FLOAT IN A FLUID OF DENSITY 1.5 P?IF YES,WHAT FRACTION OF THE OBJECT VOLUME WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE FLUID?
ANS.=YES,1/3

Answer 1

yes.

reason is , an object can float on another object ( fluids ) if the floating object's density is less than the another object.


densities of two objects = P and 1.5P

P = density of object

1.5 P =density of fluid.

as we kniw that , density = mass/volume

volume = mass/ density

ratios of volumes =

volume1. mass1. mass2
______ =_______ ÷ _____

volume2. density 1. density 2

mass1. P
_____×____

1.5P. mass2

P×1/1.5P

=1/1.5

= 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

yes , 1/3

Explanation:

we know,

if density of liquid is greater then solid will float on water as upthrust or buoyant force applied by the liquid is greater than the weight of solid.

solution=>>>>>>>>>>

we know,

=>density of solid/density of liquid=immersed volume of the body/total volume of the body

=>here we are using "d" as a sign for density,

let "x"volume of solid is immersed in liquid,and "v" be the total volume of solid.

=>d(s)/d(l)=x/v

=>d/1.5d=x/v

1/1.5=x/v

x=(1/1.5)×v

vol of solid immersed in liquid =(1/1.5)v

vol remained above the liquid=total vol - vol immersed

=> v - (1/1.5)v

=>v - (2/3)v

=>1/3v
