MCQ
A cube of external dimension $10\  cm$ has an inner cubical portion of side $5\  cm$ whose density is twice that of the outer portion. If this cube is just floating in a liquid of density $2\  g/cm^3$, find the density of the inner portion
  • A
    $\frac{8}{9}\ gm/cc$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{9}\ gm/cc$
  • $\frac{32}{9}\ gm/cc$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{4}\ gm/cc$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{32}{9}\ gm/cc$
c
$m g=2 \rho_{1} \times 10^{3}+\rho_{1} \times\left(20^{3}-10^{3}\right)$

$=9 \rho_{1} \times 10^{3} \mathrm{g}=\rho \times 8 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{g}$

$\Rightarrow \rho_{1}=\frac{8}{9} \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cc}$
