Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A uniform solid cylinder of density 0.8 g cm-3 floats in equilibrium in a combination of two non-mixing liquids A and B with its axis vertical. The densities of the liquids A and B are 0.7 g cm-3 and 1.2 g cm-3, respectively. If the height of liquid A is hA=1.2 cm and the length of the part of the cylinder immersed in liquid B is 0.8 cm, then the force exerted by the liquid A on the cylinder is
