$A$ wooden block floating in a bucket of water has $(4/5)$th of its volume submerged. When a certain amount of oil is poured into the bucket,it is found that the block is just under the oil surface,with half of its volume under water and the other half in oil. The density of oil relative to that of water is

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $3/5$
  • C
    $2/5$
  • D
    $5/3$

$A$ small solid ball is dropped from a height above the free surface of a liquid. It strikes the surface of the liquid at $t = 0$. The density of the material of the ball is $500 \ kg/m^3$ and that of the liquid is $1000 \ kg/m^3$. If the ball comes momentarily to rest at $t = 2 \ s$,then the initial height of the ball from the surface of the liquid was ..... $m$ (neglect viscosity).

To determine the composition of a bimetallic alloy, a sample is first weighed in air and then in water. These weights are found to be $w_1$ and $w_2$ respectively. If the densities of the two constituent metals are $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively, then the weight of the first metal in the sample is (where $\rho_w$ is the density of water):
