Q. If the temperature of water increases then the apparent weight of a wood block
a. increase
b. decreases
c. Either increases or decreases
d. none of the above
Give reason.
Dear student,
- The density/volume of the fluid changes due to increase/decrease in temperature
- The volume of the material which is immersed changes due to temperature change.
So if the density decreases, the upward thrust/force decreases and the height of material above fluid will decrease. Hence the volume above liquid decreases
As the wooden block floats on water, its apparent weight is zero , the increase in temperature, neither increases nor decreases the apparent weight of the wooden block
Regards
