Q 1 :    

A sphere of relative density σ and diameter D has concentric cavity of diameter d. The ratio of Dd, if it just floats on water in a tank is:            [2024]

  • (σσ-1)13

     

  • (σ+1σ-1)13

     

  • (σ-1σ)13

     

  • (σ-2σ+2)13

     

(A)    Weight of sphere, W=43π(D3-d38)σg

         Buoyant force Fb=43π(D38)ρwg

         For Just Float, W=Fb

        43π(D3-d38)σg=43π(D38)ρwg

        1-d3D3=ρwσ(ρw=1)

          1-1σ=(dD)3Dd=(σσ-1)1/3
