    A cube made of material having a density of \[0.9\times {{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}}\]floats between water and a liquid of density\[0.7\times {{10}^{3}}kg/{{m}^{3}},\]which is immiscible with water. What part of the cube is immersed in water?

    A)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    B)  \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{7}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let\[l=\]side of the tube \[x=\]side of cube immersed in water \[l-x=\]side of cube immersed in liquid According to law of floatation, \[{{l}^{3}}\times 0.9\times {{10}^{3}}\times g=({{l}^{2}}\times x)\times 1000\,g\] \[+{{l}^{2}}(l-x)\times 0.7\times {{10}^{3}}g\] \[l\times 0.9=x+(l-x)\times 0.7\] Or \[0.3x=0.2l\] Or \[\frac{x}{l}=\frac{2}{3}\]
