Question

At 00C the densities of a cork and a liquid in which the cork floats are d1 and d2 respectively. The coefficient of expansion for the material of the cork and the liquid are γ and 100γ respectively. If the cork sinks when the temperature of the liquid is t0C then the ratio d2d1

Solution

The correct option is D 1+100γt1+γt
Density of a substance at temperature 't' whose initial density at 0C is given is d01+γΔT.
If the cork sinks in the liquid at tC,
Vdcorkg=Vdliquidg
dcork=dliquid
d11+γt=d21+100γt

d2d1=1+100γt1+γt
