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

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Given `p_("oil") lt p lt p_("water")`
Here, density is increasing in order, lower density substance/liquid floats on higher denisty liquid, so ball will float on water and will sink in oil.
