JEE Main & Advanced Physics Fluid Mechanics, Surface Tension & Viscosity / द्रव यांत्रिकी, भूतल तनाव और चिपचिपापन Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       For a floating body to be in stable equilibrium, its centre of buoyancy must be located above the centre of gravity. Reason                 :       The torque produced by the weight of the body and the upthrust will restore body back to its normal position, after the body is disturbed.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                The stability of a floating body depends on the relative position of centre of gravity of a body, through which its weight acts and centre of gravity of the displaced water called centre of buoyancy through which the upthrust act.
