The fraction of a floating object of vol...

The fraction of a floating object of volume `V_(0)` and density `d_(0)` above the surface of a liquid of density d will be

A

`(d_0)/(d)`

B

`(d d_0)/(d+d_0)`

C

`(d-d_0)/(d)`

D

`(d d_0)/(d-d_0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`V_("in")=V_0(d_0)/(d)`
`V_("out")=V_0-V_0(d_0)/(d)=V_0((d-d_0)/(d))`
`implies (V_("out"))/(V_0)=(d-d_0)/(d)`.
