Question

Liquid A (density-0.71 g/cm³); Liquid B (density-1.2 g/cm³); Liquid C (density-13 g/cm³) are three liquids which do not mix with each other. They are filled in a container as shown here.
Figure

A solid object of density 4 g/cm³ is dropped into the liquid. Where will it come to rest?
(a) on top of layer A
(b) in layer B
(c) between layer B and C
(d) at the bottom

Answer 1

(c) Between layers B and C

The solid object will come to rest between layers B and C, because its density is greater than the densities of liquid A and B but less than the density of liquid C.
