Problem No. 11 to 15
Archimedes is probably most remembered for an event that claims he ran naked through the streets
yelling “Eureka!” after discovering the principle that bears his name. The story goes that while soaking in
a bathtub and trying to solve the problem of how to tell if a gold crown had been adulterated with less
valuable metals such as copper on silver, he noticed that a body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid
appears to weigh less.
This apparent loss of weight equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the body and can be thought of
as an upward buoyant force, FB, supplied by the fluid. If the body is completely submerged, the volume
of water displaced equals the volume of body.
Essentially, Archimedes was trying to find a technique that would allow him to determine the density of an
irregularly shaped object. Density, , and weight w, are related through the acceleration due to gravity, g:
m g mg w

V g gV gV

(A) 250 kg/m3 (B) 500 kg/m3 (C) 750 kg/m3 (D) 1250 kg/m3
Q13. A 105m3 ship weighing 104 N floats in a water. If Vs and Ws are the total volume and weight of the ship,

A 12 volt battery is connected to two light bulbs, as shown in figure light bulb 1 has
resistance 3 ohms, while light bulb 2 has resistance 6 ohms. The battery has essentially
no internal resistance, and all the wires are essentially resistanceless, too.

circuit. For instance, if light bulb 2 is unscrewed, current flows only around the
