Question

A solid sphere of density η ( > 1) times lighter than water is suspended in a water tank by a string tied to its base as shown in fig. If the mass of the sphere is m then the tension in the string is given by

Moderate
Solution

Tension in spring T = upthrust – weight of sphere

=VσgVρg=VηρgVρg ( As σ=ηρ)=(η1)Vρg=(η1)mg
