A hollow spherical shell at outer radius \(R\) floats just submerged under the water surface. The inner radius of the shell is \(r\). If the specific gravity of the shell material is \(\frac{27}{8}\) \(w.r.t.\) water, the value of \(r\) is\(......R\)

  1. A \(0.44\)
  2. B \(0.88\)
  3. C \(0.33\)
  4. D \(0.66\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.88\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{4}{3} \pi\left( R ^{3}- r ^{3}\right) \rho_{ m } g =\frac{4}{3} \pi R ^{3} \rho_{ w } g\) \(1-\left(\frac{ r }{ R }\right)^{3}=\frac{8}{27}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ r }{ R }=\left(\frac{19}{27}\right)^{1 / 3}=\frac{19^{1 / 3}}{3}\) \(=0.88\simeq \frac{8}{ g }\)
