A body of density rho floats with volume...

A body of density `rho` floats with volume `V_(1)` of its total volume `V` immersed in a liquid of density `rho_(1)` and with the remainder of volume `V_(2)` immersed in another liquid of density `rho_(2)` where `rho_(1)gtrho_(2)`. Find the volume immersed in two liquids. (`V_(1)` and `V_(2)`).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the floating body and apply the principle of buoyancy. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the body The body experiences two main forces: 1. The weight of the body acting downwards, which is given by: \[ W = \rho V g \] ...
