A hollow piece of metal floats in water with 80% of its volume inside the water. Find the percentage of volume submerged when the same is taken on the moon.
(The acceleration due to gravity on moon is one-sixth the acceleration due to gravity on the earth).
The fractional volume of body submerged in water depends only on the relative density of floating body and is independent of acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore, the percentage of volume submerged is the same when taken on the moon.
