Question

Write the following steps in a sequence to verify Archimedes' principle.
(a) The object is completed immersed in a liquid.
(b) The weight of the object in air is measured by using a spring balance ($w_1$).
(c) The weight of the object in the given liquid is determined ($w_1$).
(d) The loss of weight of the object ($w_1-w_2$) is determined.
(e) The weight of the liquid displaced by the object (w) is determined.
(f) The value of ($w_1-w_2$) is compared with the value of (w).

• A. b a c d e f
• B. a b d c f e
• C. a b c d e f
• D. f e c a b d

Answer 1

The correct option is A b a c d e f

Option (A) follows correct procedure as initially weight of the object is calculated in the air than it is immersed in liquid and its weight is measured in the liquid and then the diffrence between the two weights would be calculated and than weight of liquid displaced by the body would be calculated and later the two diffrences would e compared.

so option (A) is correct.
