A metal ball immersed is alcohol weighs

W_1

0^{\circ} {C}

and

W_2

50^{\circ} {C}

. Assuming that the density of the metal is large compared to that of alcohol, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

W_1 < W_2

Option C (

W_1>W_2

) is correct because as temperature increases, the density of alcohol decreases, leading to a decrease in buoyant force and an apparent increase in weight.
