Question

3. The maximum load that can be put on a wooden plank floating in fresh water is M1 and the maximum load that can be put on the same playing while floating in seawater is M2. What is the relationship between M1 and M2?
4. Two planks of similar dimensions one made out of Chestnut and the other out of Cottonwood floats in the same water reservoir. Which statement given below is true? Density of chestnut =560 kg/m3 Density of cottonwood =410kg/m3
5. With reference to question for what changes need to made to make sure that both planks can bear the same maximum load? in 1 pts Density of Cottonwood 410 kg/m3 1 pts Question 5

Explanation / Answer

Question 3:

Since, the density of sea water > desity of fresh water.

Therefore, m2 > m1

Option 4th is the correct answer.

Question 4:

Given that, density of chestnut > density of cotton wood.

So, load that can be put on cottonwood shall be greater than that the load which can be put on chestnut.

Hence, second option is the correct answer.

Question 5:

Since the density of chestnut is greater. So, for larger volume of displaced water, volume of chestnut plank should be bigger.

So, larger dimension of chestnut plank is needed.

Hence, option one is the correct answer.
