8 pts) Three identical objects are placed in
containers holding three different fluids with
three different densities (r 1, r2, and r 3
respectively). In Case 1, there is a string from
above connected to the object, which is
completely submerged in the fluid. In Case 2,
there is a string connected to the bottom of the
container and the 50% of the object is below
the surface of the fluid. In Case 3, there is no
string connected to the object, and it floats such
that 50% of its volume is below the surface of the fluid. In both Case 1 and Case 2, there is a non-
zero tension in the string.
Which of the following is the correct ranking of the densities of the three fluids?
A. r3> r1> r2
B. r1> r2> r3
C. r2> r1> r3
D. r3> r2> r1
E. r2> r3> r
