    Two wooden blocks A and B float in a liquid of density \[{{\rho }_{L}}\]as shown. The distance L and H are shown. After some time, block B falls into the liquid, so that L decreases and H increases. If density of block B is\[{{\rho }_{B}}\], find the correct option.

    A) \[{{\rho }_{_{L}}}={{\rho }_{B}}\]

    B) \[{{\rho }_{_{L}}}>{{\rho }_{B}}\]      

    C) \[{{\rho }_{_{L}}}<{{\rho }_{B}}\]

    D) unpredictable

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] As block B falls, L will decrease. Block B will displace, volume of liquid (\[{{V}_{1}}\]) Equal to its own volume when it is in the liquid. \[{{V}_{1}}={{V}_{B}}=\frac{{{M}_{B}}}{{{\rho }_{B}}}\]                      ...(i) When block B is on block A, it will displace the volume of liquid (\[{{V}_{2}}\]) whose weight is equal to the weight of the block B \[{{V}_{2}}{{\rho }_{L}}g={{M}_{B}}g=({{V}_{1}}{{\rho }_{B}})g\,\]or. Since H increases, \[{{V}_{1}}>{{V}_{2}}\] So, \[{{\rho }_{L}}>{{\rho }_{B}}\].
