A ball is made of a material of density ...

A ball is made of a material of density `rho` where `rho_(oil) lt rho lt rho_("water")` with `rho_(oil) and rho_("water")` representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oid 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:
B
For equilibrium, weight should be balanced by buoyant force.
density of oil lt density of water
and ball should be in between oil and water.
