A ball is made of a material of density ...

A ball is made of a material of density `rho` where `rho_(oil)ltrholtrho_(water)` with `rho_(oil)` and `rho_(water)` representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water, which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?

A

(a)

B

(b)

C

(c)

D

(d)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Oil will float on water so, (2) or (4) is the correct option. But density of ball is more than that of oil, hence it will sink in oil.
