Question

Two solid spheres A and B of equal volumes but of different densities dA and dB are connected by a string. They are fully immersed in a fluid of density dF. They get arranged into an equilibrium state as show in the figure with a tension in the string. The arrangement is possible only if :

 

dA + dB = 2dF

 dA < dF

dB > dF 

dA > dF

Solution

 

system will be in equilibrium with tension in string only if df > dA and dB > df. If both A & B are considered as a system then

2Vdfg = V (dA + dB)g dA + dB = 2df
