The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the principle of buoyancy, which states that the weight of the liquid displaced by a floating body is equal to the weight of the body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - A body floats with one-third of its volume above the water surface. - The same body floats in another liquid with three-fourths of its volume above that liquid. 2. **Volume of the Body**: - Let the total volume of the body be \( V \). - When floating in water, the volume submerged in water is \( V - \frac{V}{3} = \frac{2V}{3} \). - When floating in the other liquid, the volume submerged is \( V - \frac{3V}{4} = \frac{V}{4} \). 3. **Weight of the Body**: - The weight of the body can be expressed as: \[ W = \text{Density of the body} \times V \times g \] - Let the density of the body be \( \rho_b \). 4. **Buoyant Force in Water**: - The buoyant force when the body is floating in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced: \[ \text{Buoyant Force in Water} = \text{Density of Water} \times \text{Volume submerged in Water} \times g \] - This gives: \[ \rho_w \times \frac{2V}{3} \times g \] - Setting the buoyant force equal to the weight of the body: \[ \rho_w \times \frac{2V}{3} \times g = \rho_b \times V \times g \] - Canceling \( g \) and \( V \) from both sides: \[ \rho_w \times \frac{2}{3} = \rho_b \] - Thus, the density of the body is: \[ \rho_b = \frac{2}{3} \rho_w \] 5. **Buoyant Force in Another Liquid**: - The buoyant force when the body is floating in the other liquid is: \[ \text{Buoyant Force in Another Liquid} = \text{Density of Another Liquid} \times \text{Volume submerged in Another Liquid} \times g \] - This gives: \[ \rho_l \times \frac{V}{4} \times g \] - Setting the buoyant force equal to the weight of the body: \[ \rho_l \times \frac{V}{4} \times g = \rho_b \times V \times g \] - Canceling \( g \) and \( V \) from both sides: \[ \rho_l \times \frac{1}{4} = \rho_b \] - Substituting \( \rho_b \) from the previous step: \[ \rho_l \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{3} \rho_w \] 6. **Finding the Density of the Other Liquid**: - Rearranging the equation to find \( \rho_l \): \[ \rho_l = \frac{2}{3} \rho_w \times 4 \] \[ \rho_l = \frac{8}{3} \rho_w \] ### Final Answer: The density of the other liquid is \( \frac{8}{3} \) times the density of water.

To solve the problem, we will use the principle of buoyancy, which states that the weight of the liquid displaced by a floating body is equal to the weight of the body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - A body floats with one-third of its volume above the water surface. - The same body floats in another liquid with three-fourths of its volume above that liquid. ...
