Question

A uniform solid cylinder of density $0.8 g m / c m^{2}$ floats in equilibrium in a combination of two immiscible liquids A and B with its axis vertical.The densities of the liquids A and B are $0.4 g m / c m^{3}$ and $0.7 g m / c m^{3}$ , respectively. The height of liquid A is $h_{A} = 1.2 c m$ .The length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid B is $h_{B} = 0.8 c m$
Find the total force exerted by liquid A on the cylinder.

Open in App

Solution

Since the force applied by liquid $A$ is perpendicular to the axis and radially symmetrical. So, the net force due to liquid $A$ is $z e r o$ .
