Two spheres A and B, each of volume 100 ...

Two spheres A and B, each of volume `100 "cm"^3` are placed on water (density = `1.0 "g cm"^(-3)`). The sphere A is made of wood of density `0.3 "g cm"^(-3)` and the sphere B is made of iron of density `8.9 "g cm"^(-3)` .
which sphere will float? Give reason.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which sphere will float, we need to compare the densities of the spheres with the density of water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the densities:** - Density of water = \(1.0 \, \text{g/cm}^3\) - Density of sphere A (wood) = \(0.3 \, \text{g/cm}^3\) - Density of sphere B (iron) = \(8.9 \, \text{g/cm}^3\) ...
