प्रश्न

A cube of the lead of side 8 cm and R.D. 10.6 is suspended from the hook of a spring balance. Find the reading of spring balance. The cube is now completely immersed in sugar solution of R.D. 1.4. Calculate the new reading of spring balance.

उत्तर

Length of side of cube = l = 8 cm
Volume of cube =β= (8)3 = 512 cm3
V = 512 cm3
Relative density of lead cube = R.D. = 10.6 Relative density of sugar solution = R.D. 1.4
Density of water = 1 g cm-3 

R.D. of lead = `"Density of lead"/"Density of water"`

`10.6 = rho_"lead"/1`

ρlead = 10.6 × 1 = 10.6 gcm-3 

Mass of lead = m = V × ρlead 

m = 512 × 10.6 = 5427.2 g

Wt. of led cube = mg

= 5427.2 × g = 5427.2 gf

Volume of sugar solution displaced = Volume of lead cube

V = 512 cm3 

R.D. of sugar solution = `"Density of sugar solution"/"Density of water"`

`1.4 = rho_"sugar"/1`

ρsugar = 1.4 × 1 = 1.4 g cm-3 

Upthrust due to sugar solution = `"V" xx rho_"sugar" xx "g"`

= 512 × 1.4 × g

= 716.8 g = 716.8 gf

Now reding of spring balance = Actual weight - Upthrust

= 5427.2 - 716.8 = 4710.4 gf
