A jar is filled with two non-mixing liquids and having densities and respectively. A solid ball of density is dropped and comes to equilibrium such that it floats at the interface, partially in both liquids. Which of the following is true for , and ?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Liquid 1 must be less dense than Liquid 2 to float on top: .2. The ball floats at the interface. It is denser than Liquid 1 (it sank through it) but less dense than Liquid 2 (it did not sink to the bottom).
