Three objects, 1,2 and 3 of the same size and shape but made of different materials, are placed in the water. Class 8
Three objects, 1,2 and 3 of the same size and shape but made of different materials, are placed in the water. They dip to different depths as shown in the figure.
If the weights of the three objects 1,2 and 3 are ω1, ω2, and ω3, respectively, then
(i) ω1 = ω2 = ω3
(ii) ω1 > ω2 > ω3
(iii) ω2 > ω1 > ω1
(iv) ω3 > ω1 > ω2
Answer:
(ii) The relationship between the weights of the objects is ω1 = ω2 = ω3
- Object 1 is the deepest meaning it displaces the most water.
- Object 2 is less deep than object 1 but deeper than object 3.
- Object 3 is the least deep, meaning it displaces the least amount of water.
If the objects have the same size, shape and are made of the same material, the greater the depth, the greater the weight of the object.
