$A$ body of density $\rho$ is dropped from rest at a height $h$ into a lake of density $\delta$ $(\delta > \rho)$. Neglecting all dissipative forces,find the maximum depth to which the body sinks before returning to float on the surface.

  • A
    $\frac{(\delta - \rho)}{2 h \rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$
  • C
    $\frac{h \rho}{2(\delta - \rho)}$
  • D
    $\frac{h \rho}{(\delta - \rho)}$

$A$ wide-bottomed cylindrical massless plastic container of height $9 \, cm$ contains $40$ identical coins and is floating on water with $3 \, cm$ of its height submerged. If we start placing additional identical coins on its lid,it is observed that after $N$ coins are added,the equilibrium changes from stable to unstable. Equilibrium in floating is stable if the geometric centre of the submerged portion is above the centre of mass of the object. The value of $N$ is closest to:
