Answer / ash
a piece of iron sinks whereas a ship remains floating
because the surface of piece of iron in contact with the
water is less than compared to the surface of the ship.
therefore iron needle sinks but ship remains floating.

Answer / shreya
The density of water is 1.Substances with density less than that of water float in it while substances with density more than that of water sink in it.The density of an iron needle is more than 1, so it sinks in water. The density of an iron ship is less than 1, so it floats on water.

Answer / sanju
A piece of iron sinks in water because its weight is grater
than the weight of the water displaced by it, wile a ship
floats in water because the weight of water displaced by the
immersed part of ship is equal to the weight of the whole.

A coil consisting of 200 turns of wire has its ends connected to a circuit such that the total resistance of the coil and the circuit is 2.0 ohm. There is no source of e.m.f. in the circuit. Each turn of the coil is a square of side 18 cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil is turned on. If the field changes linearly from 0 to 0.5 T in 0.8 s, what is the magnitude of the current in the coil while the field is changing?
