Problem

Two identical solid spheres are completely immersed, one in water (density 1000 kg m−31000\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}) and the other in glycerine (density 1260 kg m−31260\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}). What is the ratio of the buoyant force exerted by glycerine to that exerted by water? (a) 1.59:11.59:1 (b) 1.26:11.26:1 (c) 1:1.261:1.26 (d) 1:11:1
