Question

7 Consider two homogeneous bodies of

the same volume.
Is it necessary for them to have the same
mass? why?
​

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that,

density =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Hence, d1 =
`(m1)/(V1)` and d2 =
`(m2)/(V2)`

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

`(d1)/(d2) = (m1)/(m2)`

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