A ball is made of a material of density ρ where ρ oil < ρ < ρ water with ρ oil and ρ water representing the densities of oil and water, respectively. The oil and water are immiscible. If the above ball is in equilibrium in a mixture of this oil and water, which of the following pictures represents its equilibrium position?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
For equilibrium, weight should be balanced by buoyant force.
density of oil < density of water
and ball should be in between oil and water.
