Question

7 Consider two homogeneous bodies of

Answer 1

Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that,

density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Hence, d1 = $\frac{m1}{V1}$ and d2 = $\frac{m2}{V2}$  

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

$\frac{d1}{d2} = \frac{m1}{m2}$

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.
