A solid sphere of specific gravity $27$ has a concentric spherical cavity and it just sinks in water. The ratio of cavity radius to that of outer radius of sphere is
A
$\frac{{{{\left( {28} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
B
$\frac{{{{\left( {30} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
C
$\frac{{{{\left( {26} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
D
$\frac{{{{\left( {24} \right)}^{1/3}}}}{3}$
Solution
From law of flotation
$\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3} \times 1 \times \mathrm{g}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \rho \mathrm{g}$
$\mathrm{R}^{3}=\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \times 27$
$\frac{r^{3}}{R^{3}}=\frac{26}{27} \Rightarrow \frac{r}{R}=\frac{(26)^{1 / 3}}{3}$
