Two pieces of cork, one small and another big are pushed below the surface of water. Which has greater tendency to rise swifty?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The upthrust on a piece of cork is equal to the weight of water displaced by a cork. As bigger piece of cork will displace more weight of water than small piece of cork, hence upthrust is greater on the bigger piece of cork. As a result of it, the bigger piece of cork has greater tendency to rise swiftly.
