    A boy has 60 kg weight. He wants to swim in a river with the help of a wooden log. If relative density of wood is 0.6. What is the minimum volume of wooden log? (Density of river water is\[1000\text{ }kg/{{m}^{3}}\])

    A)  \[0.66\,{{m}^{3}}\]

    B)  \[150\,{{m}^{3}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{1}\,{{m}^{3}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{20}\,{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     From Archimedes principle Weight of (boy\[+\]log) = weight of water displaced \[(60+V\times 0.6\times {{10}^{3}})g=V\times {{10}^{3}}g\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[0.4\times {{10}^{3}}V=60\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[V=\frac{60}{0.4\times {{10}^{3}}}=\frac{600}{400}=\frac{3}{20}{{m}^{3}}\]
