A raft of wood of mass 120 kg floats in water. The weight that can be put on the raft to make it just sing, should be: (d raft = 600 kg/m 3 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Volume of raft is given by
V = 
= 
= 0.2 m 3
If the raft is immersed fully in water. Then weight which can be put on the raft
= Vd w
= 0.2 × 10 3 m= 200 kg
= 200 kg – 120 kg
= 80 kg
