Question

A homogeneous solid cylinder of length L (L < H2). Crosssectional area A5 is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length L4 in the denser liquid as shown in the fig. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure P0. Then density D of solid is given by

Moderate
Solution

Weight of cylinder = upthrust due to both liquids

V×D×g = (A5.34L)×d×g+(A5.L4)×2d×g

(A 5.L)D.g= ALdg4  D5 = d4  D = 54d
