प्रश्न
A sphere of iron and another sphere of wood of the same radius are held under water. Compare the upthrust on the two spheres.
[Hint: Both have equal volume inside the water].

उत्तर
Since the spheres have the same radius, both will have an equal volume inside water, and hence, the upthrust acted by water on both the spheres will be the same.
Hence, the required ratio of upthrust acting on two spheres is 1:1.
