Question

A body floats in a liquid A of density ρ1 with a part of it submerged inside liquid while in liquid B of density ρ2 totally submerged inside liquid. The densities ρ1 and ρ2 are related as:
(a) ρ1 = ρ2
(b) ρ1 < ρ2
(c) ρ1 > ρ2
(d) nothing can be said

Answer

(c) ρ1 > ρ2

Reason — Density of liquid A ( ρ1) is greater than the density of liquid B ( ρ2) as the body is partially immersed in liquid A whereas it is fully immersed in liquid B.

A weather forecasting plastic balloon of volume 15 m3 contains hydrogen of density 0.09 kg m-3. The volume of an equipment carried by the balloon is negligible compared to it’s own volume. The mass of the empty balloon alone is 7.15 kg. The balloon is floating in air of density 1.3 kg m-3. Calculate : (i) the mass of hydrogen in the balloon, (ii) the mass of hydrogen and balloon, (iii) the total mass of hydrogen, balloon and equipment if the mass of equipment is x kg, (iv) the mass of air displaced by balloon and (v) the mass of equipment using the law of floatation.
