The density of aluminium is 2.7 g cm-3 and that of brass is 8.4 g cm-3. The correct statement is:
- Equal masses of aluminium and brass have equal volumes.
- The mass of a certain volume of brass is more than the mass of equal volume of aluminium.
- The volume of a certain mass of brass is more than the volume of equal mass of aluminium.
- Equal volumes of aluminium and brass have equal masses.
A density bottle has a marking 25 mL on it. It means that:
- the mass of density bottle is 25 g.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of any liquid in it.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of water, but more volume of liquid denser than water.
- the density bottle will store 25 mL of water, but more volume of a liquid lighter than water.
A piece of wood floats on water. The buoyant force on wood will be:
- zero
- more than the weight of the wood piece.
- equal to the weight of the wood piece.
- less than the weight of the wood piece.
The weight of a body is more than the buoyant force experienced by it, due to a liquid. The body will:
- sink
- float with its some part outside the liquid.
- float just below the surface of liquid.
- float with whole of its volume above the surface of liquid.
