A body Eoats in kerosene of density `0.8 xx 10^3kg//m^2 ` up water of dersity `1.0 10^3 kg//m^2` , will it sink more or less ? Give reason for your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The body will sink less in water ; This is because the density of water `(1 xx 103 kg//m^2) ` is more than the density of kerosene (0.8 x 103 kg/m3) due to which water will exert a greater 'upward' buoyant force on the body
