Spheres of iron and lead having same mass are completely immersed in water. Density of lead is more than that of iron. Apparent loss of weight is \(w_{1}\) for iron sphere and \(w_{2}\) for lead sphere, Then, \(\frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}\) is

  1. A \(>1\)
  2. B \(=1\)
  3. C become 0 and 1
  4. D \(=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) become 0 and 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have,
Relative density \(=\frac{\text { Actual weight }}{\text { Loss of weight }}\)
\((R D)_{\text {iron }}=\frac{w}{w_{1}}\) or \(\quad w_{1}=\frac{w}{(R D)_{\text {iron }}}\)
\((R D)_{\text {lead }}=\frac{w}{w_{2}}\) or \(\quad w_{2}=\frac{w}{(R D)_{\text {lead }}}\)
\(\frac{w_{1}}{w_{2}}=\frac{(R D)_{\text {iron }}}{(R D)_{\text {lead }}}>1\)
