A uniform solid cylinder of density 0. 8 g cm -3 floats in equilibrium in a combination of two non-mixing liquids A and B with its axis vertical. The densities of the liquids A and B are 0. 7 g cm -3 and 1.2 g cm -3 , respectively. If the height of liquid A is h A = 1.2 cm and the length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid B is 0. 8 cm, then the force exerted by the liquid A on the cylinder is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Liquid A is applying the hydrostatic force on cylinder from all the sides. So, net force is zero.
