The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the volume of the object submerged in each liquid and the densities of those liquids. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of buoyancy When an object floats in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object is equal to the weight of the object. This is known as Archimedes' principle. ### Step 2: Set up the relationship Let: - \( V_0 \) = volume of the object submerged in the liquid - \( V \) = total volume of the object - \( \rho \) = density of the liquid - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (constant) According to Archimedes' principle, the thrust (upward force) is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid: \[ \text{Thrust} = V_0 \cdot \rho \cdot g \] Since the object is in equilibrium, this thrust equals the weight of the object: \[ V_0 \cdot \rho \cdot g = m \cdot g \] Where \( m \) is the mass of the object. Since \( g \) is constant, we can simplify this to: \[ V_0 \cdot \rho = m \] ### Step 3: Express \( V_0 \) in terms of \( \rho \) From the equation above, we can express the volume submerged \( V_0 \) as: \[ V_0 = \frac{m}{\rho} \] This shows that the volume submerged is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid. ### Step 4: Analyze the given fractions For the three liquids, we have: - For liquid 1: \( V_0 = \frac{3}{5}V \) → \( \rho_1 \) - For liquid 2: \( V_0 = \frac{2}{9}V \) → \( \rho_2 \) - For liquid 3: \( V_0 = \frac{8}{11}V \) → \( \rho_3 \) ### Step 5: Write the relationships Using the inverse relationship, we can write: \[ \rho_1 \propto \frac{1}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{5}{3} \] \[ \rho_2 \propto \frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}} = \frac{9}{2} \] \[ \rho_3 \propto \frac{1}{\frac{8}{11}} = \frac{11}{8} \] ### Step 6: Compare the densities Now we need to compare these values: - \( \rho_1 \) is proportional to \( \frac{5}{3} \) (approximately 1.67) - \( \rho_2 \) is proportional to \( \frac{9}{2} \) (approximately 4.5) - \( \rho_3 \) is proportional to \( \frac{11}{8} \) (approximately 1.375) ### Step 7: Determine the order of densities From the proportional values, we can see: - \( \rho_3 < \rho_1 < \rho_2 \) ### Conclusion Thus, the correct relationship between the densities is: \[ \rho_3 < \rho_1 < \rho_2 \] ### Final Answer The correct option is: \( \rho_3 < \rho_1 < \rho_2 \). ---
