A body with volume of 3000mcube floats on water. What will be volume of body above water ?


1 Answer


According to flotation condition 

vo do g = vl dl g 

dl = 1000 as we know the density of water, 

3000 * 800 * 10 = vl * 1000 * 10 

vl = 2400 m3

This volume of water displaced = volume of body inside water 

that is volume of body inside water = 2400 m3

Now, volume of body outside water = total volume of body - volume of body inside water. 

= 3000 - 2400 

= 600 m3

Hence volume of body above water is 600 m3
