AI Generated Solution

To determine the shape of a drop of oil in a water-alcohol mixture where the density of the mixture is equal to the density of the oil, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Density Density is defined as mass per unit volume. When two substances have the same density, they exert equal buoyant forces on each other. ### Step 2: Analyze the Situation In this scenario, we have a drop of oil that is placed in a water-alcohol mixture. The density of the mixture is equal to the density of the oil. ...
