Plimsoll mark on the floating ship is reference mark located on a ship's hull that indicates the maximum depth to which the vessel may be safely immersed when loaded with cargo in different waters. To demonstrate this a tube is inserted in the water of density 968 kg/m³. It floats after sinking X = 13.2 cm as shown.
The same tube is then inserted in the water of density 1035 kg/m³. It floats again After sinking Y cm.
any wrong selection of answer will deduct 25% marks in this question.
Select one or more:
A. An object sinks more to float if the density of fluid increases in which it is submerged.
B. The value of height Y = 12.35 cm
C. An object sinks more to float if the density of fluid decreases in which it is submerged.
D. The volume of tube inside the water is more for the lesser denser fluid.
E. The magnitude of upthrust is same in both cases.
F. The value of height Y = 0.08 cm
G. The value of height Y = 14.11 cm
H. The magnitude of upthrust is more when tube floats in a denser water.
