उत्तर

Wood has density less than water so the volume of water displaced by it is more than the volume of wooden block submerged so the force of upthrust is greater than the weight of wood which makes it float on the water surface. And the apparent weight of the piece of the wood would be zero.

Assuming the density of air to be 1.295 kg m-3, find the fall in barometric height in mm of Hg at a height of 107 m above the sea level. Take density of mercury = 13.6 × 103 kg m-3.


A body of density ρ is immersed in a liquid of density ρL. State the condition when the body will (i) float and (ii) sink in the liquid. 


A jeweller claims that he makes ornaments of pure gold that has a relative density of 19.3. He sells a bangle weighing 25.25 gf to a person. The clever customer weighs the bangle when immersed in water and finds that it weighs 23.075 gf in water. With the help of suitable calculations, find out whether the ornament is made of pure gold or not.

[Hint : calculate R.D. of material of bangle which comes out to be 11.6].


Explain why an iron nail floats on mercury, but it sinks in water.

Hint : Density of iron is less than that of mercury, but more than that of water.
